Arthur Ferrante and Louis Teicher were classically-trained pianists who met at New York’s famous Juilliard School of Music in the 1930s, and went on to start working together as concert pianists, performing arrangements of popular classical pieces with an orchestra. They built a reputation which led to a recording contract with Columbia. 

This 51-track 2-CD collection comprises a significant proportion of their A & B sides on the Columbia, ABC-Paramount and United Artists labels during these years, including many which came from their growing catalogue of albums as the decade progressed. It features their Billboard Top 10  hits “Theme from The Apartment”, “Theme From Exodus” (both also UK hits) and “Tonight”, and their other hits “Love The From One-Eyed Jacks”, “Theme From Goodbye Again”, “Smile”, “Lisa”,  “Theme From Taras Bulba (The Wishing Star)”  and “Theme From Lawrence Of Arabia”. 

Their music represents a particular and highly accessible strand of popular instrumental and orchestral music of the era, and this collection offers an entertaining cross-section of their recordings from what was very much their chart heyday.
