The playing and sound are beautiful and better than any other performances/recordings I've heard of this piece. I'd buy a CD of this if it were available. I must say it sounds like there was a little bit of "re-composing" in places, but it really fits well into the piece. Pokorny really owns this piece and gives it a totally fresh & original sound
