Caterina Valente - Wake Up and Shake Up & Ich Wär' so gern bei Dir
Vocalion presents on CD two albums by internationally renowned singer Caterina Valente. Originally released in the mid-1970s, they represent Caterina at the height of her powers, performing a tantalising selection of melodies while utilising her multilingual skills to sing one album in English and the other in German. The musical talent of film composer Roy Budd is incorporated into the "Wake Up and Shake Up" album, which features several songs he had co-written as well as one original number by the album’s musical director, the Belgian Willy Albimoor. The "Ich Wär' so gern bei Dir" album was written for Caterina by the German song-writing team of Heinz Gietz and Kurt Feltz, and includes eleven original titles alongside a German translation of Cole Porter’s evergreen “I Love Paris.” Digitally remastered for Vocalion's trademark crystal-clear sound quality. 24 tracks.
