Review title: Hmmm...
Product review: The most offensive thing about this CD is not the stiffness of the performances or that the music never takes flight, but the blatant disregard for the score. The most egregious example is the Liebermann Sonata, in which both musicians change notes to accomodate their whim, and the pianist even re-composes the last climactic note in the second movement, dropping the left hand to a "B" from the written D#. I have no doubt that these musicians are capable of better and perhaps this recording was created under difficult circumstances of which I'm not aware. Alas, humility should be one's guide in creating a recording; not only in respect to the composer, but in shaping one's own legacy.
