AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE March/April 2005
Gershwin : Transcriptions
Eric Himy, piano---- Centaur 2705 ---- 73 minutes

Eric Himy, who has his own website, is a young pianist who has garnered many awards and has performed extensively in the US and abroad. His Ravel recording has been favorably reviewed in ARG (Jan/Feb 2003) and according to Earl Wild he "plays my Gershwin transcriptions with great flair and style!" It's true. Apart from Wild's own performances (Chesky), Himy makes an excellent understudy and has no need to hide his head in shame. The technique, the interpretive flair and the joy of recreativity are all there.
