Okay, so this isn't in regard to this present disc but for the remaster--the solo works are well played but somehow rather sterile, bereft of some of the gravity & emotional weight you would find in other recordings (Lupu's, for example, although Perahia has a crisper tone). Perahia holds the structures well but tends to zip right through the pieces as if he's more concerned about the destination than the journey. Thus they are straightforward and respectful--if somewhat unromantic--readings. But still, it's better to have them than not, right?
