We are talking about Big Boy, right? I can't imagine disagreeing with you more.

I think it's wonderful that a great orchestral player such as Mr. Pokorny is taking the time to put together solo CDs on top of his busy orchestral career. I wish more orchestral pros did the same. That he has chosen new music that hasn't already been recorded a million times and does it all on a 6/4 CC makes it all the more exciting and interesting. Some folks may have a difficult time getting into the more contemporary nature of the music on this album but no one can fault the amazing playing that is put forth. Because some of the music isn't immediately readily accessible it may not be as exciting the first listen but I think much of it can grow on you once you get into it. Also, his playing is very inspirational and justification enough for repeated listening. Right now I am transfixed by the sound he creates at a pianisimo. Beautiful stuff.

fwiw,
