The complete album - pressed on 180g vinyl - limited edition of 500 copies

Presented here is the complete celebrated LP 'At the Stratford Shakespearean Festival', showcasing Oscar Peterson's drum- less trio featuring Herb Ellis and Ray Brown live in Ontario, Canada. With a discography of over two hundred albums, this one is among the piano legend's greatest, endorsed by critics and fans alike.

"This LP contains what is considered by most listeners to be the fnest recording of the Oscar Peterson-Herb Ellis-Ray Brown Trio, a group that lasted from 1953-1958. Although the soloing was always quite passionate and spontaneous, the very complex arrangements are really what made this unit sound unique. Contains particularly memorable renditions of 'Falling in Love with Love', 'How About You', 'Swinging On A Star', 'How High The Moon', and '52nd Street Theme'. Essential music from a classic band." - Scott Yanow, AllMusic
