PianoDisc is proud to announce the release of Artist Series: Eric Himy - Porgy & Bess Fantasy (PD/CD 3040). Latest in PianoDisc's prestigious Artist Series, the disc features the 27-minute, virtuoso medley of songs from George Gershwin's opera, Porgy & Bess, which was arranged for solo piano by pianist Earl Wild.

"This piece is spectacular and extremely difficult to play, so it's very rarely played in concert and has been recorded only a handful of times," explained Jan Glazier, PianoDisc's Director of Music. "Eric's performance of it is absolutely fantastic. It will thrill PianoDisc owners and is worth the price of the disc all by itself. But in addition to Porgy & Bess, Eric plays an amazing program of CPE Bach, Debussy, three pieces by Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin and the Gershwin/Wild Variations on Fascinating Rhythm. This disc is absolutely terrific from beginning to end---one of our best to date."

Eric Himy is a Mason & Hamlin Artist. For more information about this brilliant pianist please visit Mr. Himy's website.
