Book 1-This collection includes Schubert’s Serenade Schumann’s Traumerei Yradier’s La Paloma Offenbach’s Barcarolle adapted from Tales of Hoffmann and Tchaikowsky’s Chanson Triste arranged by Charlie Kunz in his own style.The Kunz style favoured big many-layered chords in the right hand with a more rhythmic underpinning in the left. For instance the Kunz arrangement of Schumann’s Traumerei transforms a delicate right-hand line into a series of four-note chords which Kunz himself was able to play with grace and finesse. The arrangements tend to end with the thrill of a rallentando and high chord.Pianist Charlie Kunz had a long career as a solo pianist touring throughout Britainand appearing on television and radio. He had originally emigrated to the UK after World War I to work in a dance band but his distinctive and winning style soon led to a solo career performing his own versions of classical favourites.

It featured in The Jolson Story a film about the singer’s life and was later covered by Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby among others.

Debate rages as to whether the American songwriters correctly acknowledged him but the fame of the song means that this is now the most popular Romanian tune ever written.

Bus Stop was written by the British songwriter Graham Gouldman (b. 1946) who later found fame as a Bassist and Vocalist with the Pop Rock group 10cc . It was written for the pop band The Hollies in 1966 who recorded and released it as a single in the same year reaching No.5 on the UK singles chart. It was also their first US top-ten hit.

This collection includes Strauss’s Blue Danube Mendelssohn’s On Wings of Song and Spring Song Wagner’s O Star of Eve and Delibes's Pas de Fleurs.The Kunz style favoured big many-layered chords in the right hand with a more rhythmic underpinning in the left. For instance the Kunz arrangement of Strauss’s Blue Danube transforms a gently-unfolding Orchestral piece into a series of four-note chords which Kunz himself was able to play with grace and finesse. The arrangements tend to end with the thrill of a rallentando and chord in the upper registers.Pianist Charlie Kunz enjoyed a twenty-year career as a solo pianist touring throughout Britain and appearing on televisionand radio. He had originally emigrated to the UK after World War I to work in a dance band but his distinctive and winning style soon led to a solo career performing his own versions of classical favourites.
