Description:

The 100th anniversary album on the ORCHID CLASSICS label is one that features noted pianist Stewart Goodyear. Goodyear also showcases his talent as a composer on this album. "Callaloo," which depicts a carnival scene from his roots in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and "Piano Sonata," a youthful style of composition, are two brilliant works that foreshadow his great future work. Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" is performed in its original jazz version, rather than Grofe's orchestral version. Wayne Marshall conducts the orchestra "Chineke! is made up of black minority performers, and their lively performance enlivens Goodyear's piano. Naxos Japan
