Norman Luboff Remembered
Norman Luboff Rememberedis absolutely Beautiful! So taken with it! Absolutely Gorgeous. Can't tell you how much I enjoy it! --Betty Davis (mother of Mannheim Steamroller's Chip Davis)Norman Luboff Rememberedfeatures arrangements composed by the choral conductor, performed by Soli Deo Gloria Cantorum under the direction of Almeda Berkey. Local composer Jackson Berkey accompanies the chorus on keyboards and percussion. Because of their connection to him, the Berkeys, who are also longtime members of Chip Davis' Mannheim Steamroller group, have a particular affinity for Luboff as a colleague and musical companion. The songs chosen for the disc showcase the composer's musical flexibility, displaying his ability to apply the famous 'Luboff sound' (thick clusters of inner voices over a very low bass foundation) to different styles of music. Throughout the disc, Soli Deo Gloria Cantorum does a beautiful job of producing the various harmonies and dynamics required for each arrangement. --Ashley Hassebrock, Omaha World-Herald, Cover of Arts & Travel SectionI just received my copy ofNorman Luboff Rememberedyesterday and am thoroughly enjoying it -- a fabulous recording and remembrance of this outstanding musician! --Jeffrey Dexter, Wooster, OH
