Review by Adam Cunnington

Erinnerung is an album by the legendary German composer and bandleader James Last, released in 2004. This album is a compilation of some of his most popular tracks, re-recorded with modern production techniques and instrumentation. The album features a mix of classic pop songs, ballads, and instrumental tracks, all arranged in Last's signature style.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Happy Music," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other highlights include "Games That Lovers Play," a romantic ballad featuring lush orchestration and Last's trademark trumpet solos, and "Biscaya," a haunting instrumental track that showcases Last's skill as a composer and arranger.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the epic "The Lonely Shepherd," which features a soaring pan flute solo by Gheorghe Zamfir. The track was originally recorded by Last in the 1970s, and this new version is just as powerful and moving as the original.

Summary by Adam Cunnington

Erinnerung is a must-have for fans of James Last's music, as well as anyone who appreciates well-crafted pop music with a touch of classical elegance. The album is a testament to Last's enduring legacy as one of the most innovative and beloved musicians of his generation.
