This is my first purchase of a recording by Jacqueline Schwab, but it won't be my last. This is a CD to own if you enjoy a talented pianist and a marvelous collection of 19th century, primarily American, music. It's not the soundtrack to the Mark Twain special, but a wonderful accompaniment.

As usual, I cannot write anything bad about Jacqueline's work! Her solo performance I find very relaxing, and challenging with her own style of modern piano technique to keep otherwise old and established pieces interesting and upto date. Go buy it now!

This is a beautiful album...very evocative of the historical era depicted on the program. The arrangements (and playing) of traditional American songs by the marvelous pianist Jacqueline Schwab is wonderful to listen to...the highlight of this recording. She's really hypnotic.
