As if behind a veil of gauze
Tzimon Barto is the soloist in the Pfalzbau in Ludwigshafen. He chooses a slow tempo for the opening bars, perhaps in order to sharpen the transition to the expressive thrusts that follow. Accompanied by the splendid orchestra, Barto moves with technical brilliance and expressively between emotionality and distanced calculation. Always with an eye on the inner logic of form, from which rhythmic, melodic and harmonic connections and contexts arise.
