A SMITHSONIAN CELEBRATION NEW DVD RARE OOP! ENCODED REGION 1 The Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum of American History teamed up for this special concert, staged to help celebrate the 300th birthday of one of the world's most popular musical instruments: the piano. Piano Grand: A Smithsonian Celebration features acclaimed performers from the worlds of pop, rock, jazz, ragtime, and classical music as they display the broad range of musical expression encompassed by the piano. Performers include Billy Joel, Diana Krall, Jerry Lee Lewis, Marcus Roberts, Dave Brubeck, Cyrus Chestnut, Robert Levin, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and many more. This wonderful DVD is Out of Print and very hard to get. New factory sealed in stock & ready to ship. Review (Thanks to Wayne)I first saw this presentation on PBS TV. Unfortunatly, I did not see it all but was determined to "See It All". The opening by Billy Joel alone is worth the DVD. His greatest recording ever of "Piano Man" If you think you have heard it before, forget it. This performence will bring tears to your eyes beleive me.The rest of the program will give you a cross-section of great Pianists like nothing else you have seen. From the Classics to "Dianne Krall" This is an absolute "Must Have DVD" for the piano enthusiast. Period.Review (Thanks to AMG)This PBS special covers a wide range of music. Emcee Billy Joel performs two of his big hits, Piano Man and Baby Grand, and also composed the classical piece Fantasy (Film Noir), which is played by Hyung-Ki Joo. Jerry Lee Lewis' Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On and Great Balls of Fire come up lame. The Smithsonian Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Kenneth Slowick, accompanies Jean-Yves Thibaudet for one movement of Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor and Robert Levin for the third movement of Beethoven's Emperor Concerto. Katia & Marielle Labeque romp through Leonard Bernstein's America and explore two excerpts from Ravel's Mother Goose Suite, the delicate Empress of the Pagodas and the intially solemn Enchanted Garden, which evolves into a showstopping finale, during which the sisters share one piano. Brazilian pianist Eliane Elias' The Time Is Now suffers from an excessive focus on her two percussionists. Marcus Roberts' medley of early jazz classics is rather brief, very likely leaving the audience wanting more. Toshiko Akiyoshi's choice of the maudlin It Was a Very Good Year seems surprising until she reshapes it with a furious arrangement. Singer/pianist Diana Krall's trio is joined by the orchestra for a pleasant take of Let's Fall in Love. Cyrus Chestnut's Baroque Impressions incorporates elements of post-bop in a thoroughly swinging exhibition. But veteran pianist Dave Brubeck eclipses everyone with his dramatic tribute to Chopin, Thank You Dziekuje, which was actually taped during the final dress rehearsal. Eight young student pianists are featured on four pianos playing Country Gardens, a perennial piece familiar to all. The incomplete closer is Heart and Soul, featuring the youngsters with most of the stars on multiple pianos. Most of the camera work throughout this DVD is excellent, though there are puzzling shots focusing away from the action and the edits are too fast at times. Overall, the visuals, excellent sound, and strong performances make this DVD highly recommended. Tracks:1. Billy Joel - Baby Grand2.
