Absolutely, but that is the beauty of what subtle inflection can be heard.
It may take repeated hearings before it may mean more to you than it does
the first time around.  Or it may never come to you.  I would say that
coloristic effects in these works are brought out more by such things as
harmonic progression, harmonic strangeness, etc.  In any case, no two
recordings ever seem to sound quite the same in these respects.
