The Percy Faith Strings Exotic Strings [1962]


Columbia Records CS 8702
Exotic Strings by conductor, composer and arranger Percy Faith (1908–1976) might well be seen as his only entry in the world of Exotica, with Malagueña (1958) serving as a second choice just in case. If a second choice is not allowed for whatever reason and if one insists on either the name-dropping of some exotic term in the title or various interpretations of genre gold standards, then Exotic Strings is rightfully in the limelight. And what a lucky coincidence, for both the exotic title and various oft-considered Exotica classics merge on this album.
