Perobably the best of the many single-disc Percy Faith compilations, Sony's 16 MOST REQUESTED SONGS collects the original recordings-many of the other reissues have later stereo re-recordings, and some are even new recordings of Faith's original arrangements!-of a well-chosen selection of Faith's best work from throughout his career. From his exquisite '50s work like the Latin-tinged "Malaguena" and the film theme "The Song From Moulin Rouge," through his early '60s career high point "Theme From A Summer Place" to his somewhat less interesting late '60s and early '70s work (including a rather bizarre and entertaining take on Jimmy Webb's "MacArthur Park"), 16 MOST REQUESTED SONGS condenses the entire career of this easy listening master into just under an hour of beautiful instrumental music.
