It is difficult to imagine it better played than it is here by Margaret Fingerhut
Margaret Fingerhut possesses a most supple touch and an affirmed sense of spatial sonority, harmonic resonance and silence, all of which make this CD pure enchantment.
Fingerhut offers the finest reading (of the Sonata) yet to appear.
Throughout this recital she demonstrates an acute awareness of dramatic pacing and of creating a real sense of atmosphere. A strong recommendation.
Margaret Fingerhut tackles all this rich-textured music with tremendous confidence and aplomb and the wide range of touch, colour and pedalling that it demands.
Margaret Fingerhut's noble tone and deep sensitivity make every piece seem precious to her.
