This collection includes Schubert闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閺屻儲鍋 Serenade, Schumann闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閺屻儲鍋 Traumerei, Yradier闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閺屻儲鍋 La Paloma, Offenbach闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閺屻儲鍋 Barcarolle adapted from Tales of Hoffmann and Tchaikowsky闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閺屻儲鍋 Chanson Triste arranged by Charlie Kunz in his own style.The Kunz style favoured big, many-layered chords in the right hand with a more rhythmic underpinning in the left. For instance, the Kunz arrangement of Schumann闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閺屻儲鍋 Traumerei transforms a delicate right-hand line into a series of four-note chords, which Kunz himself was able to play with grace and finesse. The arrangements tend to end with the thrill of a rallentando and high chord.Pianist Charlie Kunz had a long career as a solo pianist touring throughout Britain and appearing on television and radio. He had originally emigrated to the UK after World War I to work in a dance band, but his distinctive and winning style soon led to a solo career performing his own versions of classical favourites.
