Oscar Peterson's Awe-Inspiring Solo
5 out of 5 stars
qibuslggJanuary 23, 2025United States🇺🇸
In my view, possibly the finest, among the scarce Oscar Peterson solo piano recordings. This album was captured at the Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer Studio in Villingen, Germany, spanning November 10 to 13, 1970. The harmonies, the strike, the heft, the aura will leave you awestruck. Truly a gem.
