Other Shellwood CDs of music in the same genre


Bugatti Step: Alex Hassan
Bugatti Step is a terrific mixture of great syncopated piano marvels played in inimitable style by Alex Hassan. Isoldina will make you chuckle as Wagner winces and the medleys of Gordon/Revel and Robin/Rainger songs arranged by Alex are reminders of their heyday. Four American Variations On A Theme By Paganini is the first commercially issued performance of this exciting work by Lothar Perl.

Shellwood is dedicated to recording the music of Billy Mayerl as well as other light and novelty piano music, mostly from the 1920-40s. We record artistes who re-create this kind of music today. Shellwood also seeks out rare performances by artistes and composers on 78 records from which, after digital cleaning, CDs are made for our 'Shellac' series. We are currently recording a series of CDs from period piano rolls using a genuine American 88 note PIANOLA pushed-up to a top-class grand piano.
