different in the listener as well: poetic depths and sensuality; the
meaning and significance of a multitude of nuances and little changes.
19 MP3 Songs
CLASSICAL: Contemporary
Details:
"Look, this is my land", thus sings Duke Bluebeard, one of Bartók''s emblematic heroes, standing in the bright flow of light at the climax of the elevating experience, the process he is undergoing only from his own point of view.
Tosheva''s playing Bartók intensifies something more, something different in the listener as well: poetic depths and sensuality; the meaning and significance of a multitude of nuances and little changes.
And, what is a rarity: Tosheva''s playing immerses itself into eternity.

Professor of Music Theory at Liszt Ferenc Academy, State University, Budapest
