This is the sound of a legend in his twilight years, proving that mastery is not just about speed, but about the space between the notes. Recorded at the Philharmonie in Munich, the album captures a quartet in perfect synchronicity. The piano is bright and commanding, yet there is a newfound tenderness in the slower passages that speaks to a lifetime of performance. It feels like an invitation to a private masterclass held in a grand, velvet-lined hall.
