Griffes was the American "impressionist". Hyperion gives us a survey of his piano output with Ohlsson at the helm. Ohlsson is a able advocate of this music, but Griffes' music lacks the sophistcation, percision, and depth of a Debusy or Revel. It's a well played courisoity album, but it doesn't merit anyone to rush out and get it. If you have some spare change, it still is a decent album to have in the collection, just to say that you have it. -Bz
