Steinway & Sons presents a second volume of Cole Porter songs, this one focused on rarities.

The songs are given beautiful performances by the Emmy Award winning pianist Earl Rose, whose specialty is The Great American Songbook.

“Rose is a fine melodic improviser and those skills come into play here in spades… gorgeous right-hand phrasing... his sense of time and syncopation is impeccable.”
