Rossini: Complete Piano Music, Vol. 3 (Sins of Old Age) (Album for Adolescent Children)
Rossini: Complete Piano Music, Vol. 3 (Sins of Old Age) (Album for Adolescent Children) Review
Italian pianist Alessandro Marangoni, praised by the media for is 'beautiful legato touch and a keen sense of phrasing', here presents the third in his series of Rossini's Sins of Old Age with the Album for Adolescent Children. From the pious First Communion and the lilting barcarolle of The Lagoon of Venice to the exotic Moorish Prelude and Rossini's Mendelssohnian tribute to his favourite food, Ah! The Peas!, this is indeed delectable piano music. Volumes 1 (8.570590-91) and 2 (8.570766) are also available. Read more...

Written to be played by children perhaps, but not all these pieces are as simple as the title may suggest! Miniature modern masterpieces by some of the 20th century's greatest composers. Raymond Clarke is an acknowledged master of the 20th century repertoire and his previous recordings have received immense praise. He has been described as a staggering pianist of exceptional gifts Read more...

Perchance to Dream: A Lullaby Album for Children and Adults Specifications
This is a lovingly-presented and very touching recording. Solo piano works by such composers as Kabalevsky, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Schumann, and Ravel come together in this collection intended to promote restfulness and calm in both children and adult listeners. With Carol Rosenberger's gentle playing, it succeeds marvellously. This disc is absolutely ideal for bedtime or times of quiet reflection. It might serve well in the car during traffic jams, too. Rather than just throwing together performances packaged on a theme (as a number of record companies are doing), Delos and Rosenberger seem to have tailored the interpretations to achieve the desired musical goal here. The liner notes have a lively section just for young readers. --Gwendolyn Freed

Keyboard Classics for Children Review
Music inspired by the experience of childhood! Cover illustrations by Roy Eaton's sons, drawn when they were two years old. They have reopened the world of discovery for him, and this recording will do the same for parents and children everywhere. Eaton won his first piano competition in Carnegie Hall at the age of seven. He won the Naumburg Scholarship from CCNY in 1948, went to Europe, and started master classes with Edwin Fischer, along with Alfred Brendel. Eaton's Scott Joplin CD on Sony Classical is a notable top international seller. Read more...
