… Marcano… gave an almost overwhelming example of his mastery and lyrical sense of his instrument. From the same introductory vein to the subtle bow that preceded the final cadenza, from the neatness of the staccati in the first song to the intricate figurations that weave the last movement, from the serene nostalgia for lyrical themes to the abandonment of the singular adage, everything was a monument of sobriety and sense of conviction of what was done. Remarkable performance.
