reception
Ken Dryden rated the album 4½ (out of five) stars in Allmusic and wrote: “Concord recorded a number of solo piano concertos in the warm surroundings of the tiny Maybeck Recital Hall, and there is hardly anyone who can do this outstanding performance by Sir Roland Hanna. Over half of its program is devoted to a selection by George Gershwin, beginning with a dazzling 'Love Walked In' dealing with [the title] in a dashing style reminiscent of the [1977] late Erroll Garner . "
Richard Cook and Brian Morton , who rated the album 3½ (out of four) stars, noted: “The Maybeck performance seems to rekindle Sir Roland's interest in the classics. There is a rich chromatism that is worthy of Debussy and that is heading towards Schönberg in its extreme form and is hidden behind some of these solo performances. ”The authors found“ Love Walked In ”, with its references to Thelonious Monk and Erroll Garner , with“ Hannas Sense of structure that is so impressive ”, as well as the Gershwin Medley, with its firm anchoring logic,“ Oleo ”and“ This Can't Be Love ”,“ both with a smile [presented], which is the romantic-tragic tension of , Lush Life 'makes even more convincing.
