"In A Symphonic Mood"

The legendary Pat Boone, in collaboration with Dr. Ernst Katz and his 125 member Jr. Philharmonic Orchestra (JPO), produced this exceptional album. Boone was intending to make new recordings of some of his greatest romantic hits and sensed the perfect vehicle would be an epic album with young people. This album also contains the orchestra's acclaimed recording of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue with Lara Urrutia-Wenzel, pianist, and Gary S. Greene, conductor.
