  • Fanfare

    “

    a very satisfying reading indeed. An illuminating attempt to get beyond Mussorgsky’s words, behind the notes. And it succeeds admirably. To couple Pictures with Miroirs is clever wordplay that also works on musical terms. Again Boyde’s interpretation reaches beyond virtuosity to let the music speak through the contrasts realized in the clarity that his remarkable technique permits. Excellent piano tone – some wonderfully sonorous passages
