Carmen Cavallaro • Rome At Midnight [1956] Decca Records DL 8359

 

Carmen Cavallaro is a long-time favorite of mine. "The Poet of The Piano" showed a gift for music from age three, picking out tunes on a toy piano. His parents were encouraged to develop the child's musical talents and he studied classical piano in the United States. As a young pianist, he toured Europe, performing in many capitals.

Carmen Cavallaro • Carnival In Venice [1956] Decca Records DL 8241

 

"The gifted musician immediately establishes a mood - a mood which is soft and sensuous, delicate and captivating . . . the mood of the serenade . . .the tunes heard drowsily at dusk, or brightly on Saturday mornings when the organ-grinder played outside of your window and woke you smiling. These are the songs that you have often heard and never have forgotten."  [Excerpt liner notes]
