Caterina Valente, Werner Müller And His Orchestra – Caterina Valente’s Greatest Hits
A beautifully arranged collection showcasing the international vocal charm of Caterina Valente, backed by the lush, sophisticated orchestration of Werner Müller and His Orchestra. Released on Decca, this compilation captures Valente at her peak — effortlessly moving between Latin, pop standards, chanson, and European favourites. Her multilingual versatility and smooth phrasing made her one of the most successful female vocalists of the 1950s and 1960s.
The orchestral backing is rich and cinematic, giving the album a warm, hi-fi lounge character that still appeals to collectors of classic vocal pop and easy listening.
