On Perspectives 2 it isn't just the refined, masculine architecture of Andreas Haefliger's playing that make this such a highly worthwhile release. It's also Haefliger's clever juxtaposition of sonatas by Beethoven, Bartok, and Brahms, through which he illuminates the brilliance and singular individuality of these composers. Haefliger has once again shown that rare combination of thoughtfulness, power, and technique that has made him not only a best-selling Magnatune artist, but a celebrated performer worldwide.
