Successful Compilation - recommended and reasonably priced!

Just like the wonderful interpretation of Cole Porter's classic 'At Long Last Love' from 'Action' (1968), the way an album from the highly acclaimed 6 CD box 'Exclusively for my friends' (1963/1968). Likewise highly virtuosic sounds 'Fly Me To The Moon', the bluesy 'I Loves You, Porgy' from 'Tristeza on Piano' (1970) or the title 'I Did not Know What Time It Was' and 'Once Upon A Summertime' (Walking the Line, 1970).

'Someday My Prince Will Come', the light as a feather grooving 'When I Fall In Love' and 'A Time For Love' bear witness cultured from Petersons stop technique (also) documented as in 'Reunion Blues' (1971) with Milt Jackson is. Poetic and impressionistic colors is 'If I Should Lose You' saturated (Tracks, 1971). The Charlie Chaplin composition 'Smile' (Great Connection, 1971) shows once again the meditative and contemplative side of the native Canadian and last but not least 'All The Things You Are', 'It Never Entered My Mind' with the stunningly beautiful ' Greensleeves', all taken from the 'Another Day' album (1970).

Exemplary document these songs that the century-pianist Oscar Peterson (1925-2007), who was also awarded a Grammy seven times (1974, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1990 [twice] and 1991), not only is technically perfect, but can be interpreted also quiet and contemplative pieces convincing. Hopefully this makes musical CD delicacies, which also has over 70 minutes of playing time, the appetite for more Oscar Peterson!
