| "The
real question is, does [Baker]add anything
to the party? My answer is an unqualified
yes. The changes in texture that the piano
reveals in the cello solo and the orchestral
score are significant and illuminating,
and Baker s execution of this projects vibrant
and technically assured. Baker precedes
the Concerto reduction with his own brief
homage to the composer, a sweet and idiomatic
tip of the hat to a larger than life musician,
as is, for that matter, this whole production.".
