The Palm Court Orchestra - Nights Of Gladness
Review by Shahid Nabi
The Palm Court Orchestra's album Nights of Gladness is a delightful collection of classic tunes that transport listeners to a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. The orchestra's lush arrangements and impeccable musicianship bring to life beloved standards like "The Blue Danube" and "Moon River," while lesser-known gems such as "The Dream of Olwen" and "The Dying Poet" showcase the group's artistry and versatility. The album's title track, "Nights of Gladness," is a jaunty waltz that captures the spirit of carefree evenings spent dancing in grand ballrooms. the Palm Court Orchestra's Nights of Gladness is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the timeless beauty of orchestral music.
