A truly fantastic display of sheer bravura-- velocity, articulation, power, etc. though also perhaps an object lesson in the diminishing musical returns of raw virtuosity for its own sake. Some of the simpler charm of the original aria is lost here in the pianist's hellbent drive to maximize excitement at every moment and turn her performance into a steroidal acrobatic etude, which to be fair is part of the writing of the piece. Ginzburg's own performances of this ingenious arrangement of his got that delicate balance right.
