Developed to preserve actual performances of concert artists in the days before I like chronic record. Now here is Campbell stout. To introduce today's legendary pianist the artist today Charles Camille says solace represents the most striking link with the past. When we stop to realize that he was born in 1035 just two years after Brahms was born

and was still living and actually performing during that year of the reproducing piano the music and musicians of the 900 century seem to be brought into a much closer focus. The piano rules you will hear today were recorded by sad songs between one thousand fifteen and one thousand seventeen and with one exception are his own compositions. After you hear his performance I believe you will agree with me that he was still a remarkable pianist even though he was more than 80 years old at the time he recorded these works for the new art piano songs compositions cover almost the entire range of musical literature. Then good piano pieces organ music symphonic and chamber music of all descriptions songs are Torrijos can taught us operas operettas incidental music transcriptions and a ballet. He also was a highly respected concert pianist and organist. He wrote many essays on musical subjects. Some poems and other literary pieces.
