All six Grandes Etudes de Paganini are a comparative rarity on disc (...) but Barto's is the best modern recording (...). Throughout, you'll notice a wealth of orchestral detail under Eschenbach's direction in an empathetic partnership that brings and ethereal athmosphere to Var 11 and a truly scintillating verve and precision to the final six variations.
Jeremy Nicholas, Gramophone, June 2014
Tzimon Barto is recognised as one of the foremost American pianists of his generation. His new double-CD for Ondine features Paganini variations by three composers, Liszt, Brahms and Lutosławski, as well as the popular Paganini Rhapsody by Rachmaninov.
