Title: Historic and very danceable!
Product review: Victor Silvester has been called the father of modern ballroom dancing. He published an instructional book on dancing in 1928, and operated a dance studio in London until 1939. As a dancer, he recognized the need for "strict tempo" recordings and started his own orchestra in 1935. This compilation includes tracks recorded between 1937 and 1945. This IS the music that delighted our grandparents and brought them to their dancing feet. It is shy of Latin or rhythm tracks, and dancers will discover that the rumba tempo of the late 30's and 40's is closer to our cha cha tempos. I was delighted by how clean all 26 tracks sound. My hat's off to Dave Bennett, the remastering engineer.
