Cédric Pescia joins Cassard for the duets, starting with a genial and leisurely spin through the A major Rondo that differs from the faster, more transparent and poetically pliable Argerich/Freire miracle on DG. Does the strident, overly resonant recorded sound make the Lebensstürme sound more monochrome than it actually is? But the duo’s straightforward, thoughtfully balanced F minor Fantasy boasts more colour and nuance, and benefits from cohesive tempo relationships, albeit without the Perahia/Lupu linear interplay in the slow F sharp minor episode’s soft passages. As always with La Dolce Volta, the packaging is first-rate, with excellent graphics and artwork, and provocative booklet-notes that, among other things, make no apology for trimming repeats.
