Author: Harriet Smith
Stark switches to the viola for the late Märchenbilder; her basic sound is glowing and rich, which is particularly effective in the first number (Nicht schnell), though in the fleet third (Rasch) Imai and Argerich are more urgent, and in the fourth more daringly withdrawn than the new version.
Clara’s Three Romances benefit from speeds that never sag: in No 1 they’re distinctly less dreamy than the Pike/Poster version, while the playful passages within the second come across well. But it’s in the third that the differences become most apparent, with the new version giving it greater élan.
