George Shearing
My Favorite Things
Let Me
P.S. I Love You
Release Date: 1/28/1997
08/12/1998 (5 out of 5 stars) Shearing s has found a way to suspend notes and cords into patterns of musical shapes. Anyone can play them, but none can create them in touch and timeing. There are similarities between Shearing s interpretation of Favorate Things and Ax s efforts at Beetoven s Emperors Concerto The timeing of the more quiet passages - the pauses - are remarkably similar. Shearing has no choice but to manouver his notes in perfect cadance, or his work would be undistingished. Yet his timeing defines the work as does the Emperor s . Both works are relatively simple in melody. It is the rythem patterns that define their greatness. Ax plays from paper - Shearing from his heart.
