A TRIUMPH OF LIGHT CLASSICAL MUSIC
In terms of sonics, you'll rarely hear better recorded piano. That's because the engineer, Bob Sellman, whom I know, is a true master of the recording booth. His DTR recordings are one of the strengths of this website. If you look under "Shop by Label" you'll see a number of them, and they're there for a reason... Sellman's work is terrific. The same is true of pianist Clipper Erickson. He's more than up to the challenge of making this light, pleasant music come alive. In fine sound and matching performance, these are delightful works to have playing on your system. Play them for your friends on a summer afternoon and I'm sure you'll get more than a few delighted comments. If you don't, reconsider who your friends are! Five stars because not everything in the piano world has to be late Beethoven sonatas.
