Icon

Part of Universal Music's budget-priced Icon series, this 11-track overview of flamboyant, candelabra-loving , easy listening/classical pop provocateur Liberace wisely focuses on the former highest-paid entertainer in the world's largely beloved output from the 1950s and '60s. Highlights include "Rhapsody in Blue," " Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1," "The Entertainer," and "Warsaw Concerto." ~ James Christopher Monger
