Beautiful music, but....

(3 out of 5 stars)
"I love classical music. But I expected this CD to be played as Paul's unique style of music; kind of jazzy, precise and cheerful. In this album, two thirds of 12 tracks were recorded with new arrangement by Paul's way, but the rest(track 1,2,3 & 11) were performed like original classics. As for "Andante from piano concerto no. 21 by Mozart", the old version(maybe recorded in 70's) is a lot better...more than I can say.If I had wanted to listen to original classics for these titles, I would chosen Karajan or Bernstein. That is why I rate this CD as 3 stars. ....Paul, you don't have to be a Karajan even in performing classics. I just want your own style!!...Best tracks : "Twilight Serenade"(written by Paul) and "Intermezzo from Carmen""
