A romantic collection of great melodies, performed on the piano in various styles by American pianist Bryan Pezzone and Welsh pianist Michael J Lewis. From the European classical repertoire comes Moonlight Sonata and Clair de Lune. From the American repertoire comes Moon River and Blue Moon. From the world of film comes the Emmy award-winning theme from 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'. From world music the ravishingly beautiful 'Tra Bo Dau', graceful 'Amazing Grace', the exotic 'Kazakh Moon' and the nocturnal 'All Through the Night'. Bryan Pezzone is the consummate cross-over artist of his generation, excels in classical, contemporary, jazz and experimental genres, and is known for both his versatility and virtuosity as a performing artist, improviser and composer. Welsh pianist Michael J Lewis was born in Aberystwyth, Wales. He was choir boy at the age of six and church organist aged ten. Subsequently studied harmony, counterpoint and composition at the Guildhall School Of Music and Drama in London. He won England's premier music award, the Ivor Novello, for his first film score - 'The Madwoman of Chaillot' - starring Katherine Hepburn, directed by Bryan Forbes. Further film credits include 'Julius Caesar' with Charlton Heston, 'Theatre of Blood' with Vincent Price, 'The Medusa Touch' with Richard Burton, 'Ffoulkes' with Roger Moore, 'Rose and the Jackal' with Chrsitopher Reeve and the Emmy award-winning score for the animated film, 'The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe' -to name a few. Lewis' score for the Broadway production, 'Cyrano', won its star Christopher Plummer, the Tony award. Lewis and his co-author Anthony Burgess won a Grammy nomination for the musical's score. He has been a recipient of the ASCAP special award for the last three years.
