Tawaststjerna’s performance is particularly emotional, poetic, and deeply committed to reflecting each of the composer’s intentions as accurately as possible.
Fanfare · Jacqueline Kharouf ·
Two of Magnus Lindberg’s Piano Jubilees perhaps are the least effective Finnish works on the album, although they utilize the piano’s colors with some subtlety, and display Tawaststjerna’s artistry convincingly.
Fanfare · Dave Saemann ·
Tawaststjerna’s playing is forceful (I guess we’re not supposed to say virile) in these three modern works.
Fanfare · Huntley Dent ·
