Frankie Carle Meets the Masters

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capitalizing on the crossover appeal of light classical melodies, pianist Frankie Carle adapts famous themes from composers like Chopin and Tchaikovsky into a strict, swinging dance tempo. 'Frankie Carle Meets the Masters' features his incredibly bright, staccato touch backed by a polished, commercial rhythm section. The album is a prime example of high-society, middle-brow entertainment from the early LP era.
