Hugo Montenegro

Magnificent Sound of the Hugo Hugo Montenegro

It is said that Hugo Montenegro trialed over 200 combinations of instruments before coming up with the right orchestrations for his prize-winning film scores. This tells you a lot about this composer-conductor, a man who isn't afraid of a lot of hard work to get just the right sound to achieve a particular effect; a musician who knows as much about sound reproduction as he does about composing and performing; a man who's equally skillful at turning out a highly regarded score, conducting a best-selling recording or arranging hit tunes for other musicians to play. Selected to receive the Montenegro magic touch on this record are ten all-time favorites including 'Peg O' My Heart', 'Dardanella' and 'Chanson D'Amour'. Each receives the full orchestra treatment in arrangements that will have to be heard to be fully appreciated.
