5 out of 5 stars A Magnificent Heywood.......2004-10-08

If you love the best one of the best instrumentals of the 50s "Canadian Sunset" and believe that NO one else has come close to the charm and sound of Heywood doing it... not only will you find the full-length version of it here (complete with intro), but also a slightly jazzier combo version that is just terrific. Add to that these other wonderful cuts and you will play this one over and over. The only thing missing is the beautiful "LAND OF DREAMS", but you can find that on "The Best of Hugo Winterhalter", which I also bought here on Amazon. This is still an awesome collection for instrumental lovers. HIGHLY recommend!

5 out of 5 stars At Last! Heywood on CD!.......2002-05-03

A long time ago in the far away land of my youth, I received a 45 rpm copy of Canadian Sunset, I think for Christmas 1956. I had fallen in love with serious and classical music, but this pop single on RCA really got to me. I was a ripe old age of eleven. I had seen the 33 L.P. in the music stores, but alas, nothing at home but a 45 Victrola to play anything on. Sometime later, I came across a 45 Extended Play short version of the album, which squeezed 4 whole songs onto the vinyl disk. I wore it out playing it. I had searched the archives of music in my later years, to no avail. Imagine my surprise when this one turned up as a collectable. Imagine my childlike joy, when my dear wife (I love Her!) presented it to me as an early Christmas gift! Imagine the absolute bliss of once again hearing Eddie Heywood play in his wonderful and inimitable style. I have proven to my satisfaction that you may wear out a CD player but you won't wear out the CD. I still love to hear it. Eddie Heywood's talent speaks for itself. The compilation of his later works on this CD is simply wonderful. His solo version of Canadian Sunset was icing on the cake. The digital remastering of all the old analog tracks is impeccable. There was some stridency on the opening of song # 4 (Rendezvous For Two) but I observed that this same stridency of the violin section was also on the Vinyl issues of years ago. No fault of the digital process. This one definitely has the warmth of "vinyl" sound and the vacuum tube equipment of my youth. This is "the" one if you like any kind of jazz and especially if you like piano showcased by the lush instrumentals of years ago. It takes nothing away from Mr. Heywood's talent whether he is accompanied, or plays solo. I give this one five stars, for music content, for the artist, and for the near perfect transformation of the master tapes to Compact Disc. A definite Collector.
