"...the sonata in D by Spanish composer Joaquin Turina
brought out the most fire from the artist...This reviewer was
particularly impressed with the rapt attention Mr. Vondiziano drew
from his audience during the second movement. The audience was
greatly drawn forward to the edge of there seats during its
exposition and held suspended on the slowly arpeggiated notes of the
final A major cord
