Truly a global project, the orchestra was recorded at SGO Music Factory studio in Bucharest, Romanina, while the band was recorded at Savannah Street studio in Denton, Texas. In Romania, current director at Bucharest National Opera, Tiberiu Soare, conducted the session, with Ric Flauding serving as the Artistic Director of Recording. While in Texas, the band was recorded by Bob Parr, who also produced and mixed the track.

The project came together after Ionut Cosarca, the creative mind behind the Bucharest All-Star Orchestra, contacted Flauding, who suggested he check out my music because he thought it would be a great fit. Ionut agreed, and the project was born. Two songs were chosen. One was 'Amor Perdido,' and the other was 'Palma de Mallorca', from the CD 'Bajo El Sol,' which will be released at a later date.

Flauding arranged the strings for 'Amor Perdido,' as well as many of my other songs, including the string arrangements performed by the Irving Symphony Orchestra.

Going under the name Bucharest All-Star Orchestra, the group comprises some of the most qualified and experienced musicians in Bucharest, including the National Symphony Orchestra. The goal of the orchestra is to rival the London Philharmonic Orchestra (and other orchestras) in their ability to record Pop, Rock, and Commercial music, along with the standard Classical repertoire. I'm honored to have my song chosen as one of the first to showcase their talent.

The other incredible musicians on this track include drummer Elijah M. Parr; bassist Bob Parr (Cher, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Barry White); and percussionist Efren Guzman (Alejandro Fernandez, Arnandi Mamzanero, Andrea Bocelli). Bob Parr also did the sequencing and Pads on the track.

The song is based on a Argentinian milonga pattern, which essentially is a slower version of a tango. This is the first song where I utilized my Classical guitar training, writing a song based on a fingerstyle melody. I feel it's one of my best compositions, particularly the key change for the chorus. With the addition of the orchestra, 'Amor Perdido' is one of my favorites.
