Album Description
This two-CD set, performed by renowned pianist Robert Silverman, includes all the great music from The Parlour Grand Volume 1 and The Parlour Grand Volume 2.

The music features piano favorites from the salon repertoire, including Beethoven's Für Elise and Frédéric Chopin's Valse in C Sharp Minor. These wonderful CDs evoke fond memories of simpler times, and evenings around the piano with family and friends.

This is a wonderful cd of beautiful, peaceful, classical piano music. I play the cds (two come in the set) for background noise while my baby sleeps. That way I don't have to be as quiet as a mouse in the house, and I can enjoy creating a relaxing environment and mood for myself while my baby is sleeping.
