To celebrate the marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Di of England,
Oscar Peterson composed a ten-song suite that he performs on this album while accompanied by an unidentified string orchestra arranged by
Rick Wilkins. Not too surprisingly
Peterson (who doubles here on electric piano) proves to be a talented composer and, even if none of the individual pieces caught on (or was ever apparently recorded again by the pianist), the music on a whole is quite satisfying. ~ Scott Yanow
