Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Brilliant pianist, James Rhodes's first album is packaged like an alternative indie album but perhaps we shouldn't judge a CD by its cover. What matters is how it sounds. And you'll find no complaints from me here. The music is sublime - you marvel at its beauty as much as you marvel at the playing.
If James Rhodes,attracts more young listeners to this kind of music, that can only be good, but die-hard Classical enthusiasts will find nothing to displease them either. He is more than a 'gateway' performer, opening the door to other more conventionally marketed performers. He is rapidly becoming one of the greats himself.
Also, follow him on Twitter at @JRhodespianist - he's a right laugh.

..while doing something else - as one does. Someone was being interviewed - drugs, self abuse - didn't pay any attention. And then some of the most extraordinary piano playing I have heard in a long time. I listened entralled to the end. Heard a reference to a forthcoming CD and rushed to Amazon to order it.
Rhoes is a very talented player. His Bach and Chopin were a revelation - and I have heard both pieces so many times it is hard to believe I could find anything new - but Rhodes found it.
So - a strong reccomendation. I shall be seeking out a live performance - and future CDs.
Thank you Radio 3.

another good listen for car travel. He certainly is a skilled performer and find I never tire of his rendering of Bach

Amazing
I am a big fan of Bach and James Rhodes interpretations are by far the best I have heard - ever. Played with such depth and feeling, i can feel the emotion of each note in my body. Read more

Very good
Heard an interview with him on Radio 3 which prompted me to buy the album and I'm glad I did. Good range of pieces, performed very well. Highly recommended.
