Great selection, but I think it also should include:
Fly me to the moon
Noreen’s nocturne
Triste
Tristeza
In a mellotone
On green dolphin street
Thank you for your contribution.
Those songs need more “support” to make the playlist.
Wait and see.
I think you should not neglect the last songs composed by OP in the last years such as “Tranquille” which is for me probably not as known as the classical ones such as “Hymn to Freedom”. Don’t forget that OP was very influenced by Latin american rythm such as “bossa nova”,…
But for piano lovers & mainly music artists, some performance remain important such as “A little jazz exercise” encompassing various jazz styles played with in a classical rigorous tailored manner.
