In such hands the final pages of Op 111 do indeed become a drift towards the shores of Paradise (Edward Sackville-West) and throughout all these performances you sense how the great effort of interpretation (Michael Tippett) is resolved in playing of a haunting poetic commitment and devotion. Both there and in the slow movement Mutter and Chung adopt a more consciously expressive style, but there is no question at any point of Perlman sounding rigid, for within his steady pulse he 'magicks' phrase after phrase.
