Early muszak ..........2007-05-27

Okay, it may be impolite to call salon music "muszak" - but I mean it in the most positive way. This is music that serves well as background music while you converse over coffee; it permits those fond of dancing to gracefully hit the floor in any setting; and it permits one to become lost in one's own thoughts while listening intently. Everything and more than muszak achieves.

Many of the tunes are catchey - I certainly recall hearing "Student Promenade" and "Jalousie" in my youth. Or playing piano transcripts of "Libesfreud" in piano lessons. Or surely some of these were heard at the Boston Pops. The Salon Orchestra does an excellent job of bringing the music to life. Perhaps not the "deepest" of music but jauntity and enjoyable.

from Solo Piano Publications.......2003-04-07

Julie Rivers has become one of my favorite pianists, but I was only familiar with her original compositions and Christmas collection before I heard this CD. Her recording of the piano music of Eugenie Rocherolle clearly demonstrates why Julie has earned such wide recognition as a concert performer as well as a composer/pianist. Eugenie Rocherolle is a prolific composer who has been very active in producing collections of teaching material. The pieces that make up this recorded collection are obviously from her more advanced repertoire, and are definitely to be considered classical. Rocherolle's composing style is varied and original. Most of these pieces are short, with some recalling Satie in their brevity and abstraction. There are bursts of Gershwin as well as hints of many other 20th century composers, but the music is very personal, and Julie Rivers brings it to life with her elegant playing style.
