Still one of the world's most popular pianists and conductors, Peter Nero forged elements from the Classical, Jazz and Pop worlds to create a sound uniquely his own. Originally released in the early '60s, these two albums (together on a single CD) were among his most commercially successful, and showcase Nero at his best.
