2009 collection from the piano great. that traverses Cavallaro's many styles and moods; a reminder of the range that the giant Cavallaro could muster. With a technique that married glittering, seamless, high-speed arpeggios with a disarming saccharine lyricism, Carmen Cavallaro's `Poet of the Piano' definition was apposite. A forerunner of the classical-pop `cross-over' that reached its high tide with Liberace, Cavallaro began his musical career as a local solo attraction at plush nightclub venues and on radio.  Later, darling of the ivories, Carmen reached a global audience through recordings, film and TV appearances.  Bygone Days.
