A Little Touch Of Schmilsson In The Night
Beautiful 1973 Gatefold Original With Custom Black Inner Sleeve. Light cover wear. "A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night" showcases Harry Nilsson's bold venture into the world of classic American standards, an unexpected but illuminating departure from his pop-rock roots. With the meticulous orchestration of Gordon Jenkins, Nilsson's velvet voice glides through an evocative collection that spans the Great American Songbook, offering heartfelt renditions of timeless pieces. The album's subtle sophistication is underscored by its seamless medleys, as it weaves songs from legends like Irving Berlin and Cole Porter, crafting a lush tapestry of sentimentality and nostalgia. Nilsson's interpretations are both reverent and personalized, capturing the elegant melancholy and romanticism of an era gone by, while his smooth, emotive delivery imbues each track with an intimate warmth, inviting listeners into a world where past and present gently collide.

In a landscape dominated by the burgeoning rock and pop scenes of the early '70s, Nilsson's "A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night" stands as an audacious artistic statement, highlighting his versatility and deep appreciation for the musical artistry of an earlier time. His vocal prowess is given free rein amidst Jenkins' rich, sweeping arrangements, allowing Nilsson to explore the emotional depths of each song with a delicate balance of restraint and flair. Tracks such as "As Time Goes By" and "It Had to Be You" are transformed under his tender touch, as Nilsson navigates the lush orchestrations with a poignant clarity that pays homage to the original compositions while simultaneously making them his own. This record not only positions Nilsson as a master interpreter of song but also as an artist unafraid to challenge the conventions of his era, making "A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night" a timeless piece in his diverse discography.
