Neat pieces,

This review is from: Gershwin: 3 Preludes; 6 Songs; Chick Corea: 20 Children's Songs (Audio CD)
A good CD. The 6 Gershwin songs were arranged by the performer, and although they are superb, they aren't as sweet-sounding as I'd like them to be. They're just a little severe. (I prefer the eccentric to an extreme but exquisite Mario Ratko-Delorko recording) The Preludes are great pieces, and the interpretation is good. The interesting Children's Songs seem somewhat harsh and plain, but that's the way they were written.

This review is from: Gershwin: 3 Preludes; 6 Songs; Chick Corea: 20 Children's Songs (Audio CD)
I don't know what to say about this great piano CD I am so ignorant about the music. Leon Bates seems to know what he is doing. The Gershwin is really engaging and some of the tunes even though I am almost too young to know them do recognize them and he does a great job with playing the piano transciptions of the songs. The preludes at the beginning are a bonus.
But the real main course here is the Chick Corea Children Songs which put some classical music to shame I am afraid to say being a classical music fan that I am. My next logical step is to get Corea himself doing these miniatures I suppose. My budget was tight and this Naxos price was right. So I went for this CD. If you have any interest in Weill, Gershwin, or Krenek which I do then I suggest this CD highly. The Corea is one of the greatest cycle of piano miniatures in the 20th century!

Superb,

This is a very satisfying album. If you are a Gershwin fan, you will likely love Mr. Bate's spunk. The Corea Children's Songs are a gem, and I thank Mr. Bates for bringing them to life.
