Info for Exclusively for My Friends (Live)

'Exclusively for My Friends' is widely seen as the centerpiece of any Oscar Peterson collection. Peterson himself went into raptures about the MPS recordings, stating that, thanks to the intimate recording atmosphere in Hans Georg Brunnder-Schwer's living room and his pursuit of perfection as a sound engineer and producer, they belonged to his best. The private recordings were made between 1963 and 1968 and are the impressive result of the long-standing friendship between the exceptional Canadian pianist and the label owner from the Black Forest. They serve to document Peterson's exquisite playing style in high profile trios as well as Brunner-Schweer's keenness to create almost audiophile sound characteristics.

'... Peterson responded to the setting, hospitality, and intimacy with what he would later describe as the best recordings he had ever made... [he] controls his vast technique at all times... simply brilliant...'. (Down Beat - 5 Stars - Excellent)
