Description by OLDIES.com:
"A Look At Monaco," a 1962 CBS television special, proves that Percy could write for buildings, elephants, children and more - his imagination was vivid throughout. This really is a soundtrack complete with narration from Princess Grace, with Percy's arrangements played by the Orchestra National De L'Opera De Monte Christo. Great fun to listen to the imagination captured through Percy's original soundtrack. The pure creative side of Percy's writing is perhaps never showcased better than it is here. (Bill Halvorsen)

Music Lovers' Ratings & Reviews:
Based on 4 ratings.
Swing Low In Hi Fi features a mixture of bright and lush songs by Faith.Some of these are lush and some are brass but of the lush ones they are really pretty what I like to call beautiful christian music.This is just instrumental without the chrous.
A Look At Monaco from 1963 is a mono album but it features Faith conducting or arranging the Orchestre National De L Opera De Monte Carlo Orchestra and has some beautiful music in it.There is some narrative at times by Princes Grace.This to me is prehaps one of the most unusual albums Mastro Faith did but it is a collector's item for all Faith fans myself included.
If you love beautiful music or if you are a Faith fan or both you should pick up this album especially for the easy listening christian music on the first one and the beautiful music on the monoco one.
