Disney Strings Fantasy (1987) (https://vgmdb.net/album/66164)
(PM me for the link)
Arranged by Haruki Mino.
Disney Strings Fantasy II (1988) (https://vgmdb.net/album/66166)
(PM me for the link)
Arranged by Goro Ohmi.
Performed by Columbia Strings Orchestra.
Just discovered these rarities recently. Released by Nippon Columbia, both these albums contain
easy-listening/jazz rearranged versions of various theme songs from several old Disney animated films
(the second album, however, features some tracks from Mary Poppins)---they're really well arranged!
Supposedly the first album was played at the Disney Gallery in Disneyland back in the 80s (if anyone could
confirm this it'd be great, I'm actually kinda curious to know), yet these albums never received an official release here
in the U.S.. Both CDs were hard to find at first for a low price but I managed to snag both for $10-15.
It's a shame both these albums are terribly obscure, they're really great! Enjoy ;)
