Customer Reviews:

Amazing energy and sensitivity!.......2005-03-22

My friend showed me this DVD, and I ordered it the next day! I can't wait for more DVDs in this series to come out! The performances they contain are not to be missed! Mark Salman plays these sonatas with amazing energy and sensitivity. He is a very dynamic performer -- seeing him as well as hearing him play really adds to the musical experience.
The "conversations" about the sonatas are the low point of this DVD. The content of these conversations is very interesting, but they are very awkwardly spoken -- like the director made them read off a script or something.
These awkward conversations do not detract from the DVD at all, because the DVD contains the sonatas complete and uninterupted, which was everything I was looking for.
