"Caution – strong language" is not a note you would expect to find on a piano recital CD, but this is James Rhodes, the radical pianist who, in his drive to communicate beyond the music, explains his approach to Bach and Beethoven in a series of short interviews. He obviously loves the big-boned majesty of Busoni's transcription of Bach's Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C BWV 564, and brings a wildly emotional, personal insight into both Beethoven's Sonata No 30 in E opus 109 and Bach's Partita No 6 in E minor BWV 830. The playing is edgy, raw and uneven – a true reflection of Rhodes's troubled life – but also fresh, vital and undeniably exciting.
