review of a pianist
Not sure what they are trying to say here. 'Sin pecar de' I presume refers to not going overboard, being excessive, etc. Help would be appreciated .
Excelente técnica de la donostiarra, con un sensacional fraseo de los Valses Poéticos de Granados, de bello sonido tanto en los fortes como en los pianos, con gran control de pedal, obteniendo buenos efectos sonoros en los cambios bruscos de carácter musical. Muy conseguida la sonoridad impresionista de la Montañesa de Falla, gracias a una señalada diferenciación de planos sonoros -evocando más que describiendo- como requiere el carácter de esta obra. Cerrando este grupo de cuatro Piezas Españolas, resaltaron los ataques incisivos y rítmicos en la Andaluza, obteniendo la esencia a transmitir, **sin pecar de rudeza en la interpretación**.

without a trace of barbarism/untarnished by vulgarity
"Sin pecar de" is an expression literally meaning "wihtout sinning of" that could be replaced with a similar expression "without a trace of" or a fancier one like "untarnished by"
I think he's trying to say that her technique was not rough, but rather very skilled, trained and rehearsed, maybe even graceful. Words like "barbarism," "barbarousness,"or "vulgarity." A simpler alternative is "roughness".

*Edit: Also the phrase "without a hint of" could work.

** Edit 2: about "en la interpretación":
Semantically: "interpretación" could be literal "interpretation", "delivery", "performance"
Syntactically:
- without a hint of barbarism/vulgarity in the performance.
- untarnished by barbarism/vulgarity in the performance.
- My choice would be: with a performance untarnished by vulgarity. (more natural syntax)
