Johan, I noticed those blemishes too. The altissimo notes that don't speak are curious (3 E's and one G). It reminds me of an instrument problem, like water in a key, but I can't imagine that on those notes. I had to listen again to focus on the slight pauses in the intro that seemed to be breath related, but yes, they do slightly alter the rhythm. Further, to my taste, the slow section was fast.
However, for me those things pass essentially unheeded in the flow of so much that sounds incredibly good. I've not heard playing like this from anyone else. Wright's combination of strengths was unique.
