Gary Karr Plays Religious Songs and Hymns

Not all of the music on this disc was meant to be played in a house of worship. The pieces were chosen by my Japanese friends who strongly felt a religious experience when they heard this music. For certain, the Schumann "Abendlied" is so powerful that one can't help feeling that this music was inspired by the Almighty. The playing of the "Abendlied" and "Evening Prayer" alone are worth the recording.
