Overview


This 3 CD album set is a must have for any Gottschalk enthusiast. Alan Mandel plays fluently through three hours plus of some of Gottschalk’s greatest piano works. These include my favorites: The Battle Cry Of Freedom, The Dying Poet, Souvenirs d’Andalousie, L’Union, Suis-moi Caprice, Berceuse (Op.47), Brazilian National Anthem, The Banjo and Forget Me Not (Mazurka Caprice).The sound is lush…… masterful triple album!
