so I was out yard sailing yesterday and came across a Marlene Dietrich German album, and the last track was arranged by Burt Bacharach.... I didn't buy it... perhaps I should have... I could go back tomorrow and buy it if anyone thinks I should...

Burt arrangement for Marlene Dietrich
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.
Re: Burt arrangement for Marlene Dietrich
I don't particularly care for that corny song and she brings so much more to material with a deeper meaning...But still it's a nice testament to their working relationship and their friendship...

Some of the greatest pizzicatos ever, Burt conducting behind Marlene in Baden-Baden in 1963...
Re: Burt arrangement for Marlene Dietrich
Burt did many excellent, and individual, arrangements for a lot of Marlene's stage repertoire - in my opinion, most of them are well worth listening to. Many of Marlene's 1960's studio recordings were made with Burt.
Managed to see her in both 1964 and '65, when she came to the Edinburgh Festival with Burt as her pianist and arranger - a highlight in my life, as I got to meet both of them at the stage door of the theatre a few times! (Angie Dickinson was an added bonus in 1965! Burt's then wife)

I posted about this arrangement before. Marlene writes about it in her autobiography.
