Total Music Time: 69.36


This is a fascinating glimpse at some of the best pianists of the light music idiom from the 1920s-40s. Some of these recordings are taken from incredibly rare 78s and all are expertly digitally cleaned for your listening pleasure. The 4 Lothar Perl recordings are particularly rare and delightful.
