Bert Kaempfert is, naast James Last, wellicht de meest bekende en geliefde componist, arrangeur en dirigent binnen het Duitse muzieklandschap. Deze box bevat 5 cd's met daarop maar liefst 99 tracks en bevat bovendien een prachtig boekwerk met foto's en uitgebreide informatie over zijn leven en werk. Vier cd's zijn thematisch opgebouwd (Yesterday) en bevatten hits (denk aan A Swingin 'Safari of Afrikaan Beat), filmmuziek, covers van beroemde artiesten en jazzklassiekers. De 5e cd (Today) bevat uitvoeringen van hedendaagse grootheden als Diana Krall, Caro Emerald of Georgie Fame.
