This is a superb introduction to the music of American composer Phillip Rhodes the Love Song (Two Appalachian Settings] in particular is six minutes of sheer beauty All of this cycle [Mountain Songs] is seldom less than great but Jehovah is a towering achievement a spine-chilling Gaelic lament. It is the most outstanding piece on an outstanding disc and demands to be heard – to call it transcendent is not an exaggeration. Rhodes has another tour-de-force waiting at the end of the disc. Reels and Reveries is again, to these ears anyway, a masterpiece I cannot recommend this highly enough.
