Helmut Zacharias - Respect- The 1968 Capitol Hit Recordings

    Hamburg's small but beautiful label, bureau b, always on the search for exciting music
    hidden away in dusty record company archives, has, once again, unearthed an absolute
    gem. Their latest discovery was recorded in 1968 & originally callled "Zacharias plays the
    Hits"
    
    German virtuoso Helmut Zacharias (1920 - 2002) was a child prodigy who  came to be
    called the "best jazz violinist in the world". He was on the roster of  EMI, recording his own
    interpretations of contemporary hits in his own, inimitable style. Known in Germany more
    as an exponent of easy listening, on these sessions he tucks his violin under his chin and,
     with a wonderfully primed orchestra behind him, shows us just how effortlessly sexy,
    laid-back, swinging and groovy pop song arrangements can be. ZACHARARIAS leads us
    from OTIS REDDING's "Respect" via DONOVAN's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" all the way to THE
    DOORS' "Light My Fire"  
    
    This musical delight comes - of course - in a high quality digipack, complete with a
    comprehensive booklet featuring previously unpublished phototgraphs and detailed liner
    notes.
