Reviews

'A sincere, communicative and mindful musician. He always holds your attention, whether or not you agree with each interpretative notion … Rhodes's fusion of instinct, mindfulness and individuality stand out in any era' (Gramophone)

'This engaging CD suggests Rhodes is finally comfortable in his skin. His readings of Bach's Partita No 1 and Beethoven's Pastoral sonata are fresh and lovingly detailed, while his Chopin Third Ballade is both fiery and judicious. The Gluck encore is exquisite' (BBC Music Magazine)
