THE PIANO AT THE BALLET
ANTHONY GOLDSTONE

The final part of Anthony Goldstone's brilliant triptych of recitals including transcriptions, variations, fantasias, and arrangements of music from public 'spectacles' - the first two CDs attracted enormous critical praise and this volume is no less fine, containing perhaps a few more well-known themes, such as those from Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, but in fresh and new arrangements by the performer - indeed most of the music here is receiving its first recording.

	“Goldstone revels in these transcriptions and his playing can only be admired, He has a wonderful ability to get to the heart of the music. He is a communicator o f the highest order. It is a very pleasurable CD, deserves to find friends, shows us how gifted and dedicated a pianist Goldstone is and we admire and praise him for music off the beaten track. The sound quality is very good. The picture on the cover is delightful” – David Wright (Wrightmusic)
	“ Goldstone proves he can play anything with such absolute mastery, subtlety and style... a great talent on top of his stride. Taking his piano wizardry to familiar themes...each one is such a joy.” – Chris Spector (MidWest Record)
	“A scintillating recital of colourful miniatures. To hear Goldstone affectionately shaping with effortless virtuosity his own skilful transcriptions [of Tchaikovsky] has one relishing these timeless phrases afresh. Exquisite poise and timing… beguiling finesse and tonal subtlety” – Julian Haylock (International Piano)
	“A generous and very varied selection of music… {Goldstone's arrangements] are made with great skill and understanding. Any dance studio [would] be delighted to have a pianist of half this skill. Essentially an enjoyable recital… it would be hard to be bored by it or finish listening to it other than in a cheerful mood.” – John Sheppard (MusicWeb)
