Pianist Pola Baytelman interprets works by Isaac Albéniz and Alberto Ginastera.
“…In some ways, Ms. Baytelman puts me in mind of Elizabeth Schwarzkopf; not only for the unimpeachable technique, but for an interpretive savoir-faire… For this pianist, every compositional event is a change of climate, an occasion to be explored and illuminated from innumerable perspectives.”
