Frank Chacksfield And His Orchestra – In The Mystic East

Frank Chacksfield And His Orchestra – In The Mystic East

Lush, cinematic, and richly atmospheric, In The Mystic East sees Frank Chacksfield and his orchestra exploring the exotic orchestral soundscapes popular during the golden age of easy listening and exotica recordings.

Blending sweeping strings, romantic melodies, and stylised interpretations of Asian-inspired themes, the album transports listeners through imagined musical journeys across the Far East. Featuring orchestral renditions of classics such as Japanese Sandman, Song Of India, Caravan, and March Of The Siamese Children, the record captures the sophisticated lounge and orchestral pop style that made Chacksfield internationally renowned.

Elegant and nostalgic throughout, In The Mystic East is a wonderful addition for collectors of vintage easy listening, orchestral mood music, and classic exotica-inspired recordings.
