Not just perhaps--for sure!
What tenorfanatic would not be enthusiastic about Placido Domingo, the epitome of great tenor singing for nearly half a century! On this recording, he wanders away from his usual opera arias and Spanish songs, to perform some "popular" music; and he does so beautifully.
This recording was given to me by a friend, along with the sheet music for "To Love," because she wanted me to sing it. I have never performed it; but I certainly enjoy singing it at home. "To Love," naturally I suppose, remains my favorite song on the recording. But, who would fault "Perhaps Love," and its blending of voices with--of all people--John Denver? Other specials for me include "Annie's Song" and "Yesterday"--yes, an opera star singing Beatles music!
Usually, I do not notice orchestrations, unless they intrude upon the vocals of a recording. But, on this the excellent complementing of the instrumentals to the voices neared perfection.
All in all, a wonderful recording!
