 Oscar Peterson TrioAt the Stratford Shakespearean Festival Release Date 1956 08 08 Label Verve Rating:  This CD contains what is considered by most listeners to be the finest recording of the Oscar Peterson-Herb Ellis-Ray Brown trio, a group that lasted from 1953-1958. Although the soloing was always quite passionate and spontaneous, the very complex arrangements are really what made this unit sound unique. The live CD adds two selections (&"Nuages" and the 13-minute &"Daisy's Dream") to the original program, and contains particularly memorable renditions of &"Falling in Love With Love," &"How About You," &"Swinging on a Star," &"How High the Moon," and &"52nd Street Theme." Essential music from a classic band. Scott Yanow, Rovi |
