Probably the BEST interpretation I've heard! Can't believe the haunting quality of the first 5 minutes - he captures it with extraordinary precision and celebrates the explosion of joy at 5.37 with complete satisfaction! The last 60 seconds - it's one of the most stunning endings of all. The last 2 chords - they basically say - "Goodbye, goodnight, I love you all".
Also - have a listen to the theme "Rockabye baby" at 13.40 - always takes my attention with this fantasie.
Bravissimo.
