i salonisti - the last dance (1998)

Visit the Palm Court Orchestra of the great ocean liners of the last century (in this case, the ill-fated voyage of the Titanic). The music is romantic without being sentimental, colourful but never flamboyant. A tender soiree, a romantic tete-a-tete, the anticipation of a jour fixe are what come to mind when listening to this album of fond reminiscences from a vanished but perhaps more colourful and intimate era.
