"Not just a case of the performer subordinating himself to the composer, but of both, united in the service of music's greatest miracle - an entire attitude to life encapsulated in sound. From the opening phrases of each it is clear that his sights are set on long-term processes - this is not playing which depicts; rather it maps out a journey of the spirit....same total concentration and inner intensity as the sonatas; the last extends sublimely to a hypnotic 11.48!"
