Piano Recital

“As someone who has never been to a music college, done my diploma in piano playing or participated in any competitions, I feel particularly blessed to have been able to choose to learn pieces of music for the simple reason that I absolutely love them. I have never been forced to slave for hours over a piece of music that doesn’t make my skin crawl with pleasure or raise my heartbeat to almost viagra-induced levels. This album is a perfect example of me as a musician and piano-fanatic choosing works that for as long as I can remember have blown my mind.” James Rhodes, 2010
