" Byron Janis Live on Tour," is an album of never before released live recordings of performances by the internationally celebrated pianist. It is Maestro Janis’ first release of new material in twenty years and celebrates the 70th anniversary of his very first RCA LP recording in 1947 at the age of 19 titled Bach/Liszt, Chopin. Byron Janis Live on Tour is an exclusive compilation of twelve works composed by Haydn, Chopin & Liszt. Also featured are 2 pieces composed for stage and screen by Janis himself, a “hot” collaboration on 2 pianos with Cy Coleman and finally, a song he composed, David’s Star for which his son wrote the lyrics. The Album has a heartfelt dedication from Maestro Janis and his wife Maria Cooper Janis that reads as follows: “I dedicate this record to our son Stefan, who died tragically of a heart attack in February of this year. We were so proud of his talents as a writer and arts critic, but most of all, for the love and care he gave to others. We miss him terribly.”
