Johnson,</b> at the famed <b>Skywalker Sound.</b><P> * Hyman was composer, arranger, conductor, and pianist for many <b>Woody Allen</b> films including <i>Bullets Over Broadway</i> and <i>Mighty Aphrodite</i>. Other film scores have included <i>Moonstruck</i> and <i>Billy Bathgate.</i><P> "Stunning virtuosity and audio fidelity that sets an unprecedented standard for recording that most recalcitrant of instrument, the grand piano. An extraordinary pianist with great taste, in total command of a magnificent instrument, recorded with awesome presence and fidelity!" -- <i>JazzTimes</i><P> "A once-in-a-lifetime record that does everything right. The band is hot, and the sound is front-row center, the players set up in a virtual-reality semicircle inches from your face. It is the most enveloping recording in my collection, and my numero uno desert island LP." -- <i>Stereophile</i><P>
