António Saiote

I've discovered António Saiote, who's a monster technician and musician. He recently posted a link on the ICA Facebook site to his performance of the Bozza Bucolique. The piece is horrendously difficult to bring off, and he does a great job. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfMwlhu3QII&feature=share

His Brahms Quintet is really fine, with striking communication and integration with the quartet.

I could do without his constant blowing out of imaginary condensation from the C#/G# key, and I occasionally wish he would be a bit more precise in the technical passages, but his musicality blows away all criticism.
