Recorded in Frankfurt, Germany on the last night of a  triumphant tour, Michel Petrucciani's Solo Live CD has gone on to become  one of his most successful and best loved recordings.Upon it's  original release, DownBeat Magazine touted it as "one of those rare  performances in which every note seems felt, and literally sings with  passion.  If you want a fond keepsake of a pianist whose passing has left a  gaping hole in many hearts. . .pick up this live album of a breathtaking  1997 solo concert in Frankfurt."  Critic Clarke Bustard proclaimed Solo  Live "...one of the essential jazz piano recordings of the decade."On this new edition, Dreyfus has made available the full, unedited  concert giving us an unprecedented opportunity to grasp the unique talent  of Michel Petrucciani.With 35 minutes of exclusive tracks, never  before published, Piano Solo - The Complete Concert in Germany has the  artist performing for "high stakes" in the solo format.  Michel liked to  say that he played at a "world championship" level (to ward off his stage  fright), and this recording is certainly evidence of this.No one in the  history of great pianists/composers/performers had to fight such a physical  handicap, where pain was always present.  He developed such a unique touch,  and an improbably strength.  Listen to Piano Solo and be amazed!
