Review by Jilliane Rae Ramos

Pieces for Solo Horn by James MacDonald is a beautiful and captivating album that showcases the musician's impressive skills on the horn. The album features a collection of pieces that are both challenging and expressive, highlighting MacDonald's ability to convey emotion through his music.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Sonata for Horn and Piano," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. MacDonald's playing is both delicate and powerful, and he effortlessly transitions between the piece's contrasting moods.

Other highlights on the album include "Reflections on a Song," which features a lovely melody that MacDonald plays with great sensitivity, and "Fantasy for Horn," which showcases the musician's technical prowess.

Throughout the album, MacDonald's playing is accompanied by piano, and the two instruments complement each other perfectly. The piano provides a rich and textured backdrop for MacDonald's horn playing, and the two instruments work together to create a truly captivating listening experience.
