Everyone who has heard these performances comments on
how exciting they are, characterized by a spontaneity that
only comes from a sophisticated reading of the score, and a
willingness to risk everything. One critic has characterized
the stunning Op. 70 performance as "miraculous. . . a
performance as fine as any I've ever heard. All four
movements of this extremely difficult piece [are]
exemplary, missing not a single opportunity for great beauty
and technical panache."
The 1997 festival CD will be available at the Barn.
