2011 two CD collection. Artist was one of the most ostentatious pianists of all time and although far better known for his TV and live appearances his recordings are still sought after. This package features four of his original albums in stereo making their debut on CD and are full of his classical and pop interpretations and a rare live performance at London's Palladium. Don't be fooled by the campy and theatrical performances as they are only a disguise for his remarkable talent. After all, you don't get into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the highest paid entertainer in the world for nothing. Jasmine. Liner Note Author: Bob Fisher.

Originally released on Columbia. Recorded at the height of Artist's popularity in the 1950s, these two albums, issued here on one CD, feature the renowned pianist at his melodramatic best. On these tracks, the lively performer (born Wladziu Valentino Artist) takes on everything from classical pieces (a majestic rendition of a movement from Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata") to pop standards (a giddy version of Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine") to, well, "Chopsticks," which Artist makes his own with a dynamic and joyfully over-the-top arrangement. While these sessions stand out as some of his best studio recordings, those seeking the full Artist experience, with playful banter and all, are advised to seek out his lavish HOLLYWOOD BOWL concerts. 2 LPs on 1 CD: Artist AT THE PIANO (1954)/AN EVENING WITH Artist (1955).
