It is not generally known that Oscar Peterson is a Canadian, or that also he has a very high regard for the music of another Canadian, Robert Farnon. Tonight these two giants of music meet for the first time in a television studio to pay mutual respect to each other's talent.
Oscar Peterson and Robert Farnon have selected a varied programme, ranging from familiar standards and recent popular music to a world premiere performance of a work by Farnon specially written for Oscar Peterson, featuring the trio and a 51-piece orchestra.
