Horst Jankowski - A Walk In The Black Forest

A Walk In The Black Forest

Jankowski's Orchestra & Chorus

Mercury 134-542 MFY

Horst Jankowski achieved his widest success with his unique and arresting blend of piano, orchestra and chorus. All through his formidable career, he had been preoccupied with the search for new and different musical combinations. That search led him to experiment with various combinations of conventional instruments and the human voice. In Germany, Horst was well known as much for his choir as for his piano playing. In 1960 he formed the choir on a strictly amateur basis. It included an American G.I., a baker, a bank cashier, some housewives and clerical workers and they rehearsed whenever all could find a convenient time. Like Bert Kaempfert, he was a prolific composer of original instrumentals, and his "Schwarzwaldenfahrt", better known as "A Walk in the Black Forest," is as much a sound of the 1960s as Herb Alpert's "Tijuana Taxi." Compare Jankowski's male-female dialogue version of "Nola" with Esquivel's "Mucha Muchacha."
