This is the third of Van Cliburn's recordings of a collection of

shorter piano pieces, the others being "My Favorite Encores" and

"The World's Favorite Piano Music". I am a Van Cliburn fan partly

because of his piano playing, and also because of his generosity

in holding piano competitions for the young at Fort Worth TX.

I have dropped the rating by a star simply because I was not in tune with some of the pieces in this Romantic Collection. Other

listeners may very well elect to raise the rating to 5 stars.
