This review is from: Henry Cowell: Persian Set (Audio CD)

Having heard Cowell's piano works, I was expecting this to be atonal, highly percussive, etc. I was completely surprised by these compositions. They are closer to Debussey than other Cowell works. I am enjoying this CD immensely. Proof that sometimes it's worth taking a chance!
