I'm wondering if he could actually have played two pianos at the same time, or if, more likely, he he mixed two separate recording sessions of himself. I Googled him and found this on Wikipedia: "He was noteworthy for the recording development of playing two pianos in his recordings (the Decca Phase 4 Stereo series)." But that didn't clarify how exactly he played those two pianos. Do you know? Will in Seattle a.k.a. "Clueless"

The original was a 10" LP from 1951 on a label called Vita Records: And here are two subsequent expanded 12" LP releases of the original 10" album. Both are on a label called India Records: Lawrence F. "Chip" Arcuri Owner/Webmaster \| The Yule Log.com
