CD Reviews

Worthy of Gods

"Stravinsky said Don Shirley's playing is worthy of Gods. I say he is God at the keyboard. Every note of every piece melts your heart. Get it.. you'll love it absolutely."

Perfection!

"Shirley plays with such passion, sometimes ebullient and sometimes restrained, and he touches your heart with every note and every pause. The first CD has many old melodies on it, but they are completely fresh with his interpretations. Whether you are of a religious bent or not, the second CD will touch your spirit (I only wish it included "Amazing Grace" and would love to hear what the master could do with that!). You will never regret buying any Don Shirley CD, and this one in particular."
