在十九世纪上半叶，单簧管是钢琴及小提琴外最流行的独奏乐器之一,而单簧管其独有的那种怀旧味，是爱听此乐器的发烧友对它情有独钟的原因之一。 这张CD的演奏者Acker Bilk，是一位为人所熟悉的着名单簧管好手，当中吹奏出他的经典手本名曲’Stranger On The Shore’，及经典浪漫流行歌曲如We’ve Only Just Begun、Morning Has Broken、Hey Jude、Let It Be、My Way...等等，正是好歌不厌百回听；在以吹奏的乐器中，感情的表现及控制的技巧，是最大吸引处，每一粒音的强音、弱音、震音，或有时表现出慢不惊心，有时是表现出绝对实在的，这就是欣赏Acker Bilk单簧管的乐趣所在。 但无论乐手技巧如何精湛了得，乐曲如何好听流行，录音也是最后关键所在；要将这种有怀旧’Feel’的音乐，如时光倒流般呈现眼前，唯有以当今最先进的母带处理；以 32 Bit D.S.P.Mastering 泡制，并以特定发烧片质料—Alloy Gold超合金压片，令发烧友从音乐CD中得到最高享受

For many, Jazz clarinet is synonymous with one man: Acker Bilk. His unique tone, rich, versatile and as expressive as the human voice, has become a benchmark against which other Jazz clarinetists are measured. In the '60s Bilk became a cult figure, a popularity matched by some stunning chart successes. This collection of great standards was recorded in 1995, and demonstrates that Bilk's apparently effortless delivery of melody, and his ability to draw from the clarinet a wealth of colors and tones, remain apparently unquenchable.
