Fiedler's All-Time Favorites
Fiedler’s All-Time Favorites celebrate Arthur Fiedler’s remarkable ability to bridge the worlds of classical and popular music, capturing the essence of his long and influential career with the Boston Pops Orchestra. The album stands as both a tribute and a summation of his enduring philosophy that music should be enjoyed by everyone. It gathers together some of the most beloved selections from the Pops repertoire, performed with the vitality and polish that became Fiedler’s trademark.
The sound complements Fiedler’s interpretations beautifully, preserving the elegance of the strings, the sparkle of the woodwinds, and the sonorous power of the brass without overshadowing the music’s natural charm.
