Pennies from Heaven / Various

Pennies from Heaven / Various

"Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven. Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven? You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town. Be sure that your umbrella is upside down. Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers..." (from: Lyrics to Pennies from Heaven by Johnny Burke) Small treasures, as promised by the song Pennies from Heaven in the eponymous 1936 film with Bing Crosby, are assembled on the latest release from the Mandelring Quartett: favourites, individual movements and encores which the Mandelring Quartett regularly play in concert, but also works which don't fit into - or at the end of - standard concert programmes and are therefore presented on this album. Whether classical or non-classical, original works or felicitous arrangements for string quartet: all pieces are much loved by the ensemble.
