Re: [ARSCLIST] Lou Teicher Obituary
I liked their classical arrangements, there was even a Strauss Waltz
thing that quite a lot of fun.

First encounters with F&T were when I heard "Soundproof" at my uncle's
in the mid 50s, and when they went on "I've Got a Secret" and their
secret was that they could play the Minute Waltz in less than a minute.
As I recall, they did it in forty seconds. I like them on Columbia,
Westminster and ABC Paramount. I LOATHE "Exodus" and everything that
followed on United Artists, with one or two very rare exceptions. Once I
actually yanked a record of theirs off the air..Rhapsody in
Blue..couldn't stand it. But everybody's entitled to make a living.

While Ferrante and Teicher were certainly not the first to use
overdubbing in their music making, I found their work to be highly
creative...and, often overlooked, are their early recordings of
classical music like the disc of the Rachmaninoff Suites for two pianos.
