3.0 out of 5 stars Typical Victor Sylvester, 22 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Victor Sylvester plays old-fashion ballroom music with a small dance band, heavy on the single lead violin, and this is exactly what it is.

The CD should work quite well if played at a dance as the mix is typically in blocks of 2 tracks per dance style, although a bit uneven in that there are only 3 Tango tracks and 1 Viennese Waltz, the rest being made up mainly by Quickstep (8) and Foxtrot (5) and Waltz (4). There are also a few latin tracks towards the end, almost as if thrown in to fill the CD with a single Jive track, followed by a couple of Cha-Cha and Rumba. The beat suddenly changes to a Samba and dramatically switches back to a single Tango and wildly dives into a "Modern Disco Beat" and finishes off with a Foxtrot. This uneven mix of tracks is not a problem for someone with a programmable CD player but if left playing as it is would probably clear the dance floor in confusion towards the end.

Unless you are a Victor Sylvestor fan, this is not really a "listening" CD although the digitally remastering has been done extremely well. As a CD to be played through at dances, the mix lets it down somewhat. There could have been a few more latin (there is not one Paso Doble track) and Tango tracks, but ideal if you are looking for a CD of dance music to vary and compliment your own mix.

5.0 out of 5 stars Digital remastering helps Victor Silvester's orchestra to sparkle, 11 Jun 2006
This collection of tunes from the original British ballroom dancing superstar is distinguished by a sparkling production which allows all the instruments of the orchestra to be heard in clear stereo sound. Victor Silvester's trademark solo violin is of course present, but piano, guitar, clarinet and saxophone all take the lead at different moments. It's a great example of the natural sound of a ballroom orchestra playing real instruments in the era before the electronic synthesiser took over. You definitely don't need to be a Victor Silvester fan to enjoy listening or dancing to this - anyone who likes the classic ballroom sound will enjoy these melodies.
