Ferrante & Teicher - Ferrante & Teicher (1965)

"Ferrante & Teicher" (1965) is the eponymous album by the American piano duo Arthur Ferrante and Lou Teicher, released by United Artists Records during the peak of their commercial popularity.

The album showcases the duo's signature style—lush, Hollywood-inspired arrangements with two pianos in the foreground, accompanied by a rich, full-array orchestra. Although the duo was renowned for their radical experiments with "prepared piano" in the early 1950s, by 1965 they had firmly established themselves as the kings of cinematic and romantic instrumentals.

The album includes instrumental arrangements of popular pop hits, film themes, and jazz standards from the mid-1960s. The musicians masterfully interweave fast, virtuoso passage-dialogues between two pianos with large-scale orchestral climaxes.
