From the back cover: About Carmen Cavallaro
Although pianist Carmen Cavallaro is perhaps best known for his wonderful interpretations of popular ballads and Latin American rhythms, as well as jazz interpretations, we can draw something of a parallel between his and the career of the man whose music he so brilliantly performs in this album. Thoroughly trained in the classics, for an anticipated concert career, Carmen Cavallaro was himself a prodigy. In professionally gravitating toward more popular musical fare, he has in no way compromised his unusual artistry. Rather, he has brought to the popular field an unfaltering standard of quality and good taste.
A truly gifted artist, Mr. Cavallaro has become world famous for his deep understanding and complete mastery of music ranging from the incomparable improvisations of popular music with which he captivates night clubs audiences from coast to coast, to sensitive interpretations of great classics, such as the Liszt masterpieces heard in this collection.
