Unexpected Billy Joel creation
What a delight!. We learned of this CD at a symphony concert featuring Billy Joel music.


great CD
It is very light, not serious. Amazing. A very enjoyable CD .


At best, a sincere attempt by a layperson
It shows in all of the pieces. I understand that Joel has a limited classical background. They are, however, a sincere attempt at classical composition. He tries different approaches, like drama, wistfulness, and even a motoric element. But it's obvious that he needs to listen to more classical discs and brush up on his knowledge of classical repertoire.

Nice try though.


Lovely piece of wrting played very well
It is not Chopin . For all that say this is a hollow initation of past composers should remember that there has been little groundbreaking compsition for the last 50 years (maybe 100) and what is groundbreaking I can barely stand listening to. . . . it not supposed to be.

Listen for what it is and you will find it lovely piece of wrting played very well.


Unbelievable... unforgettable!
It's perfection. Wow! This is a great classical album. A hundred years from now, if only one recording of Billy Joel survives, I hope it's this one.
