This is really an interesting sonata.I see how this pianist felt it was worth championing.I'm falling in love with it the more I hear this and finale! Gorgeous committed playing just wish the hall recording had given a better idea of the pianists tonal and dynamic palette it allsounds one dynamic level because of the miking .The music has too much character for that .Wish i had been in attendance!
