The graceful and lovely Peterson's world SACD hybrid disc. Andru Litton, one of America's leading conductors and pianists, tries his hand at jazz piano! This disc, entitled \"A Tribute to Oscar Peterson,\" is dedicated to the jazz piano hall of famer Oscar Peterson, nicknamed the \"Emperor of the Keyboard,\" and includes a number of pieces that Peterson used to play. Litton was first introduced to Peterson's music through an LP he received as a 16th birthday present, and was struck by the performance on the LP, which left a strong impression on him as if he were a \"god,\" something he had never heard from any of the world's great classical pianists.Litton's playing incorporates Peterson's signature stride piano and gospel-like harmonies, and is a superb performance that expresses Peterson's worldview, which was not only superb but also elegant. The performance is a jazz performance, but with the touch of a classical musician, and it is a condensation of the good old days in America, reminiscent of Gershwin. This recording uses a Bösendorfer piano, known as Peterson's favorite piano. Andru Litton (1959-), born in New York, has served with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and as music director of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. He is known for his ability to express the beauty of a work in a natural way, while maintaining a strong sense of balance and integrity.He has a wide repertoire ranging from classical to contemporary music and has demonstrated his ability as a pianist.
