Never been able to make up my mind about Nancarrow. At its most extreme, his music dazzles, and yet....

Haven’t checked out the Berg coupling yet. The Boulez Schoenberg “Pelleas” with the CSO is well-played (haven't compared it to the Craft on Naxos yet)  but Boulez's interpretation is (I assume quite deliberately on Boulez’s part) so full of angst and anxiety that after a while I feel exhausted and want to stop. Van Steen plays the work more calmly, and/or places a calmer emotional  floor underneath the eventual turbulence; the result is that one hears all the quite remarkable music that’s there and not just gouts of “expression.” Excellent MDG recording.
