		And I was one of those who found Guettel's sophisticated, showily avant-garde merger of blue grass and Mahler dull and even faintly ridiculous.

		It's no surprise when you learn that the composer, Adam Guettel, is the grandson of Broadway legend Richard Rodgers (of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame).
		Sixteen songs from that concert were selected for the CD that eventually became "Myths and Hymns." The songs were inspired by various Greek legends and songs Guettel found in a hymnal from a second-hand bookstore (who says God doesn't have a sense of humor).
		For MaH, Guettel was able to draw some highly respected talent from the Broadway world such as Audra McDonald (Best Actress Tony for Ragtime, several solo CD projects) and Mandy Patinkin (several Broadway shows, the TV show Chicago Hope, and most famously Montoya in The Princess Bride).

		Until this disc, Adam Guettel was best known as the mastermind behind Floyd Collins, the gut-wrenching, boundary-breaking piece of musical theater that never gained the popularity it deserved.
		Adam Guettel has taken Greek myths and combined them with songs found in an old hymnal to create a unique cycle of songs ranging from funny ("Pegasus" and "There's A Land") to poignant ("Migratory V" and "Hero and Leander") to uplifting ("There's A Shout").
		One of the highlights of the album, for me, is to hear Guettel himself sing so many of the songs -- his voice is quite unique, and a joy to hear.

		Though Adam Guettel's acclaimed musical may never get to Broadway, its underground hero is now making his Boston debut.
		After its Off-Broadway premiere at Playwrights Horizons, Adam Guettel and Tina Landau's Floyd Collins steadily gained cult status and continues to have a life outside of New York.
		The result is a bluegrass sound with a clearly classical influence, strangely appropriate for this true story of the eponymous Kentucky spelunker who dreamed of finding fame and fortune in the form of a great sand cave that people would come from miles around to see.
