5.0 out of 5 stars Black and White Magic, 23 Jul 2000
By Daniel Dennis (Brisbane, Queensland Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Hardly anyone meeting Winfired Atwell could easily shake the expectation that the powerhouse entertainer of stage and television would inevitably be an extrovert. Yet there she was, reflective and shyly charming, listening attentively, offering her thoughts in that beautifully accented voice only when good manners and courtesy deemed it appropriate. She was more than just "Wonderful Winnie" who played the piano as if she had an extra pair of hands. She was a rare person who believed the best in people, while determinedly disbelieving her own publicity. She trusted the language of music to express her joyous love affair with the piano,and in so doing gave the world much captivating amd tasteful music so well captured on this CD. A "Best Of" compilation by this superb entertainer is long overdue. From the opening copper-bell tones of the "other piano"(the honky-tonk instrument salvaged from a Battersea curiosity shop for fifty shillings which would log up a half a million touring miles - without once being tuned), here are the classic original recordings. There are her best-loved ragtime numbers, a little boogie woogie, and rhythm numbers like the irrssistible "Calcutta". For good measure, a silver cascade of backing strings is brought in on the big concert numbers like Rachmaninov's 18th. Variation on a Theme by Paganinni. It is easy to see how this delightful virtuosity must have lit up the musical landscape during the years of post-war austerity when Winnie became the first, and to this day the only, pianist to routinely score top-ten hits in the pop music charts. Listen with particular attention to her astonishing attack on the keys in "Raunchy", a recording in which Winifred reputedly left the studio with blood dripping from her fingertips. The quite different mood of "Flirtation Waltz", a lovely evocation of dancers in love, and the intriguing, wistful "Left Bank", make this a feast of beautiful and exuberant playing. As the title suggests, it's the best of Winifred Atwell. There's none better.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Winifred Artwell., 9 April 2006
By Alan Burridge (Poole,, Dorset. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Much like my sole fellow reviwer on this page at present, you have to be getting on a bit to even recall the Winifred Atwell name, let alone remember her music. However, millions of people know of her most famous track without even realising it; as 'The Black and White Rag' has been, (or perhaps was?), the 'Pot Black' snooker TV theme for more years than many of us still have teeth. To those of us aged 50+ by now, we remember her piano playing from the radio, as she was a huge favourite in the late 50's and early '60's. My mother had several of her 78's, and we would sit there as a family, smiles on our faces, listening to this fabulous player, who was to the piano what Jimi Hendrix was to the guitar - an innovative genius. Okay, so the kids might moan when you play this CD, but hell, it won't do them any harm. Twenty excellent tracks which every piano lover should own.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Winifred Atwell, 29 Oct 2009
By Ian Bishop "123IDB" (Mumbannar Vic Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I met Winifred Atwell twice in the early 1960's when on tour in Australia at Mt Gambier South Australia, where the concerts lenghts where of three hour duration.
A very lovely lady, pity not still with us on earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who's that on the cover?
The previous reviewers have said it all and I agree wholeheartedley. However the picture of Winnie on the cover is not at all representative of her as we all knew her. Read more
