It's a ploy that is imaginatively appropriated by Pike, especially in the Brahms where she is particularly careful not to be over-indulgent...this is a refreshingly projected performance which boasts an almost ideal fluidity in terms of manipulation of tempo and nuance in the first movement.”  Price: $25.98 |
