combines his trademark balanced sense of<br />
phrasing with spirited musicality and crisp<br />
articulation. “The commanding insights<br />
Perahia brings to this repertory…breathe<br />
freshness and distinction into works we’ve<br />
heard many times before, but seldom played<br />
at this inspired level” (Chicago Tribune).<br />
