Emile Pandolfi is a pianist who knows how to play with flourish; the way he scales the keys with speed and deftness is nothing short of thrilling. PLEASE WELCOME… is a collection of some of his best performances from his early albums, including timeless favorites with that classic Pandolfi flair. Included is a medley of pieces from "Phantom of the Opera" which is literally packed with romantic conventions and rolling arpeggios. The pianist's subtle yet brilliantly rich renditions of "Someone to Watch Over Me" and the theme from "Somewhere in Time" flow with elegant sophistication and fabulous artistry. The closing number is the track that will really leave you with a lump in your throat. It's a truly magical take on "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" that builds into a grand emotional fantasia of crystalline keystrokes. Breathtaking!
