And I agree that Hovhaness' large output worked against being respected in certain quarters, and "Mysterious Mountain" is a great American symphony in that same Roy Harris mold of self-confidence in the use of "American" hymnody and other source materials.
I recommended the Hovhaness Guitar Concerto in the October 2014 issue of Stereophile.
