I was amazed by the perfectly controlled introduction, which cannot be heard in old live recordings. Katsaris' extraordinary technique adds colorful gradations to the articulation, bringing out the hidden charm of the music one after another. In Brahms, there are moments that sometimes feel like hesitation or stagnation, which can hinder the "flow." Performers may feel the same way, and especially in live performances, one can often stumble at those moments. However, in the performance of Katsaris and Inbal here, there is not a trace of such moments, maintaining a velvety texture. Especially in the fast passages, the piano notes are distinct, as is typical of Katsaris, and each note stands out, enhanced by the excellent recording quality, making it sparkle and shine.
