“Pohlit shakes the glittering cascades, chord-vibrati, jump-effects as well as fast octave and third passages out of his sleeve and provides a brillíant-colored piano-texture that is always in motion. […] The development of the themes testifies to a particularly lively imagination. However, one may wonder whether the sometimes quite salon-like and plush piano style does not take away too much of the tango’s ascetic, angular peculiarity. Pohlit, of course, is prepared for this objection, and he parries it with a figure of argument that is no less brilliant than his piano style. “Like the contours of a picture, fading in the course of time, the laconical form and clear rhythmic structure of the classical Tango appear in many of these pieces in a transfigured lyrical way: transmitted in the atmosphere of the past musical salon, of which they do not originate in reality, but to which sensitive pianists and ambitioned music-lovers can lead them.” (“PianoNews”, Robert Nemecek 2014)
