| I came in during the Kyrie and played the end of it, and, when the priest had finished intoning the Gloria, I played a cadenza. |
| His opening cadenza is filled with tension and dark portent, and his tempos, as usual, are well judged. |
| The first movement, 'Conflict', unfolds as follows: statement, development, counterstatement, cadenza, coda. |
| Using my own fingerings, I was able to play the cadenza much faster than usually done. |
| There is a longish cadenza that is well-integrated into the movement's thematic structure. |
| The performance was marred by occasional flatness, but the plunge from an extremely high to an extremely low note in the cadenza was breathtaking. |
