The sound is confident in its attack – but rendered sympathetically enough, as if aware of itself, so as not to become overzealous – and great expressiveness in its dynamics makes the piece feel like a conversation between instruments.

Artur Pizarros Spiel integriert sich immer homogen mit dem Orchesterpart, kein Zaudern oder Abwarten kennzeichnet sein Spiel.

“Artur Pizarro’s playing always integrates homogeneously with the orchestral part, his playing is not characterized by hesitation or waiting.”

This is a performance of grace and musicianly charm.

Pizarro makes the music drift and glide throughout, evoking all its subtle pathos without ever shading into the obvious or the sentimental.
