PRIVATE PARTS & PIECES VI - IVORY MOON

Anthony Phillips is well-known as an acoustic guitar player. On Rutherford's first solo effort, he used to play keyboards and played them very well. On PP&PVI, he plays exclusively the piano. Unlike John B, I am rather enthusiastic about the solo compositions compiled on this record and find them very enjoyable. Anthony Philipps focuses on the melody rather than on the virtuosity and the result is phenomenal for an artist who used to play the guitar in his previous solo works. The music proposed by Anthony is brilliant and never boring and should appeal to fans of romantic music à la Debussy.
