Quote:
“The pairing of the cool Boulez with the more expressive Barenboim might seem a mismatch of styles; but with Boulez wielding the baton over Barenboim\'s Staatskapelle Berlin as the pianist tackles these two pillars of Liszt\'s musical temple, a magical balance is achieved that allows the music\'s character to surge forth with no recourse to the easy victories of cliché.” The Independent, 7th October 2011 ***

“It’s easy to garland these virtuoso concertos with tinsel and vulgarise the emotions. Barenboim, with Boulez’s assistance, will have none of it. He phrases his fingerings with lyrical finesse, while Boulez’s passion for clarity reaps large rewards in the play of colours and instrumental balance. Like restored paintings with the nasty varnish removed, the concertos emerge reborn, and newly powerful.” The Times, 21st October 2011
