Martin Boettcher and His Orchestra - Blue Moon and Love Letters

Описание: Martin Boettcher is a German composer, arranger and orchestrator who is mainly known for his "Winnetou" soundtracks. He wrote the music for no less than 10 "Karl May" movies and at the time (sixties) one critic wrote : "the success of these 'German western movies' is caused for 50 percent by Martin Boettcher's music." And that sure was no lie, because several of these compositions (like eg "Der Schatz am Silbermeer" ("aka "Old Shatterhand melody") reached the nbr one position in the German hitparade and stayed "in pole position" for several weeks.
Boettcher's sound is recognizable immediately and fans of the "Winnetou" music surely will discover elements of the typical sound in this little piece called "Blue moon and Love letters". Well... the title may not be very original (and a bit confusing perhaps) but Boettcher's music definitely is !
Martin Boettcher's nickname could well be "the master of melody" as - besides the well known "big shots" like Last or Kaempfert - there aren't too many other European composers who are that talented.......
Anyway, we invite you to judge for yourself as you watch this theme presentation "Traces of Tenderness".
From the 1979 album "Romantic Harmonies" here are Martin Boettcher and His Orchestra with "Blue moon and love letters". Enjoy.
