"Liberace had genuine virtuoso technique and could have been a first rate concert pianist.

He debuted with the Cleveland Orchestra at age 14 in the Liszt E-flat major piano concerto, which should say all that needs to be said about the level of his pianism.

I saw some recordings of his 1950's TV show and his technique then was impressive. It's too bad he's underrated as a musician and pianist. I speak from the vantage point of over 30 years of attending live piano recitals.

There aren't many contemporary popular musicians that can approach him in technique and accomplishment.
