GRAMOPHONE EDITOR’S CHOICE

There is nothing rushed in the concluding Allegretto, which unfolds with a beguiling sense of leisure. Here, as in the first movement, voicing is exquisite, with the overall sonic terrain sculpted and proportionate. When the presto coda appears like a bolt from the blue, its neat summation leaves one wishing for even more of this spacious rondo…. The Moments musicaux speak with a morning freshness throughout, each imbued with its own unmistakably individual identity.
