Review: Elegant and masterful, as if tinkling on a keyboard illuminated by a yellow moon and New York's skyline in silhouette behind him. Pre-war charm was a thing, even if it existed solely in dark movie theaters. After all, it got us through an economic wipe-out followed by the horrors of World War II. In pianist de Felitta's hands, the songs are played as they should be heard.
