March 2006
Liszt's Sonata is seen to have 'an enlarged field of tension' and here is a performance that, from a tension of expectancy in the dragged notes of the opening bars to the tensions of the bravura passages, is the epitome of breadth and dignity. Not meretricious but not cerebral either; and to that add 'passionate' in Kreisleriana and Fantasie, the climaxes of its finale gauged to a nicety.
