CD Reviews

Excellent performances

11/05/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Even though I'm not sure I'd like to listen to all of these short works on a rainy day, I'd say Pontinen's performances are among the best I've ever heard. His style reminds me a bit of Zimeramn's concerning the clarity of his sound, his sensitivity and virtuosity, even though he conveys more passion through his interpretations. An excellent gift to non-musicians too, as the collection includes beautiful, easy-listening works. However, the high quality of the performances make this cd extremely interesting to musicians as well."
