Liberace At Home

Solitude
Liberace At Home
Columbia CL 896
1956

From the back cover: Although the music Liberace offers here is frankly popular, it has been chosen from among the best of popular music, and each of the songs has attained the stature of becoming a 'standard' song, one that is played year in and year out, long after its first flush of popularity has vanished. Song such as these never grow old, partly because audiences never tire of them, partly because performers find endless challenges in the musical structure. In this spirit Liberace has approached his program, relaxing as he does at home, yet spurred on by the pleasure he takes in playing such fondly-remembered tunes.
