CD Reviews

The essence of a great entertainer catpured.

Sam | London, England | 05/02/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Liberace was a great showman and entertainer. This double CD is the best record of his classic act and demonstrates what Liberace was all about. Although recorded in 1954 the sound quality is fine and many of the elements from that period remained part of Liberace's act over more than 30 years. Interestingly - he was not yet using "I'll Be Seeing You" as his exit music. If there is anything you like about Liberace - get this CD.
NB Amazon (on 2/5/04) was only listing the tracks on the second CD."

Fantastic live Liberace concert

Brenda M. Brubaker | Los Angeles, CA | 05/16/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a wonderful live Liberace concert at the Hollywood Bowl from 1954. The sound quality is excellent as Columbia Records recorded the whole concert. However, this is the first time the complete concert has been available, in order, from start to finish with all of Liberace's comments and performances. This is such a fantastic concert that I would recommend this to anyone, specifically someone that has never heard Liberace before. This is highly entertaining, with wonderful music and you will be surprised at Liberace's comic timing! You will laugh your head off a lot too at his jokes and comments. His charm and warmth is very evident here, as well as his humanity. His brother George is the musical director. They also play with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and members of Liberace's regular band which are all introduced. By the end of the show, you will be a Liberace fan and will understand why he was and is so popular and was known as "Mr. Showmanship"!"
