Dancer on a Tightrope (Der Seiltänzer) for violin and piano

'The piece evokes a desire to "break away from the confines of everyday life". It provides a technically challenging platform for the violinist in which the instrument is initially pitted against the string of the piano played with a glass tumbler. Around half way through the symbolic transition is made to the keyboard. In this live performance Gidon Kremer is more than equal to the extensions of technique that the writing calls for' (Classical CD). With pianistVadim Sakharov.
BBC Music Magazine: outstanding.
