Thatcher's performance of Brouwer's technically demanding composition infuses "The Warrior's Harp" with emotional energy.
"El arpa del guerrero" juxtaposes intense, fast passages with pensive, slow passages, and Thatcher provides a contrasting interpretation that resolves with his execution of Brouwer's lightning-fast conclusion.
