The phrasing was secure and shapely, with debcate and interesting nuances. Broadly flowing legato style, purposeful rhythm, and immaculate intonation were a joy to hear. Mr Tfll played, as always, not only with complete accuracy. but with heightened imagination and unfailing sense of all stylistic requirements. There w».« close co-operation between the players at all times, not only in technical matters, but in poetic interpretation The Brahms Sonata in G, Opus 78. brought from both artists dramatic, poetic, wellknit and deeply felt playing. The fustamed song-like character of the second movement was interpreted most graciously. There was relaxed happiness to the W movement The tenatOM of the first two had been wiped away. and this sang triumphantly. Strong and . vivid playing w»s beard both in tone and in rhythm, with wide expression and shapely moulding. This was a satisfying and charming performance —C.FB.
