Irving Berlin's I Love a Piano January 29, 2009

Irving Berlin's I Love a Piano is an enchanting musical journey spanning seven decades of American history as seen through the perceptive and hopeful eyes of Irving Berlin. Using 64 of Berlin's enduring and popular favorites, I Love a Piano captures the spirit of America from the Ragtime rhythms of the early 20th century through the swinging sophistication of the 1920s and '30s, from the sentimental songs that inspired a nation during two World Wars to the optimism of the 1950s. Timeless classics such as "White Christmas," "God Bless America," "Puttin' on the Ritz" and "There's No Business Like Show Business" do more than define the music of a generation: they define the music of our country. "Irving Berlin has no place in American music. He is American music!" said Jerome Kern.
