This review is from: Symphony 46: To the Green Mountains, Symphony No. 39: Symphony for Guitar and Orchestra, Korean Folk Song (Audio CD)

I've known Michael Long since 1985 and since his release of this recording back in the early 90's, he has established himself as a first-rate guitarist. This recording is a sumptuously delicious escape into the post-impressionist orchestral writings of Hovhaness. While the performance at times seems excessively subdued - almost to the point as if the musicians have stopped playing - you are nonetheless transported to an ethereal musical chasms charmed by Long's phrasing and dedication to rhythmical nuances. This is a first-rate recording! Let's hear more!
