Acclaimed US pop-jazz pianist Peter Nero achieved his highest US album chart placing with the cleverly titled Hail The Conquering Nero. During the period 1961-72 he dented the lower reaches of the US album chart twenty times with his easy listening music. (US:5)
"Nero covers a wide range of familiar standards, gentle ballads and sophisticated interpretations of Broadway hits."
"One cannot help revelling in the artistry, genius and drama of Peter Nero."
"I must say unequivocally that he is, by far, the most talented pianist in the genre and one of the most influential of the last forty-five years."
"The performances here are without question some of the most moving, displaying resoundingly virtuosic genius, elegant and eloquent, at once, conveying a craft so involving that applauding them will seem natural."
"This album reveals why Peter Nero's talent and genius has lasted so long, and why the recordings are as vibrant and refreshing today as they were when they won him Best New Recording Artist."
"What a masterful work; a truly great mix of jazz-flavoured renditions as well a soft and mellow sounds. A truly great album."
