CD ReviewsPoetry in Ivory Krzysztof POLAKOWSKI | ROCHESTER, New York United States | 11/05/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "This new CD includes recordings made between 1940 and 1947. They are monophonic. After thorough re-mastering many of them still show their age. However, despite some technical flaws, this album contains many well known standards, that made Cavallaro famous. Performance of "Brasil" or "Dancing in the Dark',"Carioca" played by 33 year old pianist show his improvisational skills and unmatched virtuosity as well as his characteristic ornate style. On many of these recordings Cavallaro and his band play as instrumental accompaniment for Bing Crosby , Dick Haynes or Andrews Sisters where Cavallaro remains in the background. All recordings remain a great gift to all Cavallaro admirers bringing back a flavor of an era of big bands and unforgettable piano soloists." Adults only! Dace Gisclard | Houston, TX USA | 06/01/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Deathless classics of American popular song in creative and virtuoso performances by one of the best popular pianists of his day, presented in the original monophonic sound with just enough modern electronic processing to remove some of the surface noise without interferring with the original sound. Not for those who know the price of everything and the value of nothing." Virtuoso pop piano playing Flavio Cipparrone | Sao Paulo, Brasil | 02/12/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you watch a movie about the life of Eddy Duchin ("The Eddy Duchin Story"), you will discover how skillful Cavallaro was because he was the player in the film. Try to find this movie to understand what I mean.
He had a very characteristic personal style of interpretation. If you do not know his style, verify if you can appreciate it in the samples of the albums Christmas (listen "Jingle Bells") and in the album "My Sentimental Heart: 1946" (listen "Lover"). The recordings of this album are old but OK, so that do not expect too much in this respect. I like very much his "Manhattan" interpretation (that is contained in this album). " |
