With a touch most tender, exquisitely soft, fragile like liquid glass, as if every note drips from the keys, melts over the barline- as if there were no barline at all, only a continuum of silence and tone- radio personality Christopher O’Riley conveys this masterpiece with the soaring arc of a bird and the rushing, lifiting buoyancy of the wind that lifts it. His command of the emotion stirs the mind’s appetite for more and more as he holds forth crystalline morsels of precious sensory perfection, hungering the ear for a feast, as a brook promises to feed a waterfall which promises to feed the ocean. He has perfected the position of the musician- the musician himself dissolves, the musician himself is invisible as nothing stands between the music and its cognition.
