Bruno Bertone Orchestra - Fantastic Strings: My Favorites Vol. 4 (1988)

Fantastic Strings - My Favorites (1988) is an album compilation series of various Bruno Bertone orchestral arrangements from the 70s and early 80s. Most, if not all, of these would be re-released under the Romantic Strings album compilation series 5 years later.

As these tracks originate from Bruno Bertone, here is the text from the Romantic Strings videos justifying the attribution:

After a long and thorough research process, I can conclude that this is indeed from the Bruno Bertone Orchestra, off of the Delta label (who also owned LaserLight, Music Digital, and "M Music" or "MMusic" or just "Music" on Discogs. There are names of primary instrument players attached to these covers, which I will add soon, but I'm happy to even get to the bottom of this rabbit hole right now. I've been looking for the proper author of these tracks for 10 years!

These are all tracks which have been released in some form (vinyl/cassette) from the mid 70s to the early 90s. These were later sold off to budget labels around the world with the artist names removed for some reason. Some even have other easy listening orchestra names attached when they've never performed these songs (Franck Pourcel, for example).

Some of the backing tracks for these were also sold off to backing track music companies for karaoke CD/streaming albums, also with the artist's name removed. There were a bunch of red herrings, let's just say that.

Hopefully, with the authorship properly attributed, people can begin to appreciate Bruno Bertone's beautiful arrangements more (and hopefully less lawsuits will result). I'm not quite sure why his label decided to strip his name from foreign sales of his tracks (maybe they thought they would sell more?), and it's a rather unfortunate thing to have happened, considering how nice these tracks sound.
