Burt Bacharach "Lost Horizon" Reflections Instrumental Music

[case139]

There is another version of this song which came off of Burt's "Living Together" album from 1973. If you've got it, please post it if you can. Thanks.

Incredible arrangement. Wonderful melody

Total brilliance. A real snappy tune

I'm old. Lol. I've been listening to Burt for 44 years, and he's still in my top ten if not top three. I have no musical background.  I just know that his music touches my heart and always gives me that warm fuzzy happy feeling inside.

I totally agree with mmaced. It doesn't matter how much people think he is good or think they know his songs. His ouvre is so wide-ranging, so deep. There's so much more than the casual listener will ever appreciate or look for.

Read Copland's What to Listen for in Music and listen to Bacharach's first A&M albums (largely instrumental). It will change your life. To this day he writes oustinding music (look for "HQ - Karima" here.) What a brilliant composer and arranger!

A 20th century genius,and yet understimate

Hints of Bond Street in this. Luv it.
