Title: Great concerto, great CD
Review: As all of the previous reviewers have emphasized, the real reason to get this CD is for the Leroy Anderson piano concerto. But the CD is rounded out with some other nice piano music too, such as George Gershwin's Second Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra, and a few Scott Joplin rags (arranged for piano and orchestra by Erich Kunzel).But let's face it, you're considering buying it for Anderson! If you enjoy his shorter works, you'll be thrilled by this, his only foray into longer concert music. Even it's not that long for a concerto, but it's almost twenty minutes of pure Anderson brilliance---even the second, supposedly andante, movement is lively and fun.It's just too bad that Anderson himself did not record his concerto during his lifetime, since a comparison of his recordings of his shorter works to recordings done with other conductors leaves little doubt that his own vision of the concerto would have been even more dazzling.
