Orchestra Heinz Kiessling (1964)



















Some grand orchestras from the German library are likely to be found on swiss label Elite Special. E.g., this holds for Frank Pleyer as well as for Heinz Kiessling.

As I'm a great admirer of the Kiessling sound I'm very pleased to present you two Elite originals, one of those in glorious mono - but don't hesitate, you'll like this anyway if you like Music for TV-Dinners and advertising sounds from the 50s/60s.

All tunes were composed by Heinz Kiessling and his buddy Werner Tautz who founded the Brilliant Music Library in 1964. Since 1990, Brilliant CEO is Werner's son Joachim who recently had successful collaboration with Germany's Brigade Mondaine label in Fuerth near Nuermberg, so, don't miss the "Days of Summer" CD with Kiessling among others being present.

In cooperation with Bliss Records a number of Kiessling's compositions were re-released on CD in 1993 but barely available to the public. Unlike the 60s of the last century, this music is no longer present in our life today. Blame the radio stations for keeping these masterpieces of library back from us.

This is the place to capture the unmistakable flavor of Heinz Kiessling from Elite Special Vinyl
