I've heard over 50 different recordings of this piece, multiple times these last 4 decades! Yet another? What else can be done to this overplayed composition?" Because I trust her musical knowledge and taste, I ordered it. It is breathtaking and edgy, notes and phrases cut with a jagged edge of the bow that releases a new dynamic.
