| |  | Jimmy: James Rhodes Live in Brighton
In 2008/09 James Rhodes saw his profile go from complete unknown to rising star, attracting celebrity followers including Stephen Fry and Sir David Tang. He swiftly went on to headline London's historical Roundhouse, where he was the first classical pianist to perform since its re-opening. In 2010 he made his television debut in the BBC Four documentary Chopin: The Women Behind the Music and in 2011. James went on to present and perform in his very own television series James Rhodes: Piano Man on Sky Arts. This new disc – recorded live at The Old Market theatre in Brighton – captures the energy of Rhodes in concert as he performs and entertainingly discusses works by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninov and more in this 85-minute programme. “he brings his natural dynamism and considerable talent to bear. Particularly impressive is his signature opener, the limpid Adagio from Marcello's Concerto No 3.” The Independent, 19th May 2012 “Both the Rachmaninov C sharp minor Prelude and Schumann/Liszt 'Widmung' feature lovely interweaving between melody and accompaniment...Rhodes obviously has it in him to be a persuasive Beethoven interpreter. Whatever persona Rhodes chooses to cultivate in terms of presentation, he certainly is a serious musician.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2012 “He's at his best when the music is most abstract. In the Bach-Busoni Chaconne he grips the polyphony with a probing intensity, a manner revisted in miniature in the grave, brittle dance of the Marcello-Bach Adagio...Rachmaninov's C sharp minor Prelude is convincingly shaped as a crescendo in anguish, while the Schumann-Liszt Widmung becomes rapture personified.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2012 *** | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

“'Clair de Lune' emerges beautifully, and the Brahms intermezzo has noble grace. Only three stars on the conventional scale, then, but for Quixotic heroism he gets the full five.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2011 *** “It's proper classical music, but in an overwhelmingly accessible package that screams mass market youth appeal...Balakirev's arrangement of the "Romanza" from Chopin's E minor Piano Concerto is a high point, playing to Rhodes' talents for making a melodic line sing, and for deftly defined ornamentation.” Charlotte Gardner, bbc.co.uk, 12th December 2010 “Despite the 'cool yoof' market presentation, this is a delightfully old-fashioned recital...[Rhodes] is an engaging communicator who bucks trends and aims high.” Classic FM Magazine, April 2011 **** “James Rhodes' populist charm is given free rein in the sleevenotes to this double CD of contrasting approaches to the piano, with plenty of winking references to chemical stimulation.” The Independent, 7th January 2011 **** “In the end, this pianist is a night-bird, most persuasive in the blue-mauve moods of Rachmaninov, Debussy and Chopin.” The Independent on Sunday, 16th January 2011 “James Rhodes is forging his own way in the classical world and breaking rules like the most stylish, gifted and daredevil boy in class...[he] plays with reckless high-wire energy, expression and panache.” The Observer, 26th December 2010 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
