DESCRIPTION

For over thirty years Rex Lawson has been at the forefront of pianola music throughout the world.

REVIEWS

"What you get here is Lawson playing, not merely operating, a pianola. These are his performances - and he really does give you the sense of a live event. The programme is a fascinating one." Gramophone

"This delightful disc contains crisp, meticulous music for the Pianola... Lawson has mastered this art and spread the Pianola gospel around the world." The Sunday Times
