Inspirational British pianist

Does anyone else know of this inspirational British pianist Christine Croshaw?
www.christinecroshaw.com
I saw a recommendation of her on the Alink-Argerich Foundation site re Croshaw's latest recording of piano music by Camille Saint-Saens, a disc I subsequently purchased. It really is the most fluid and beautiful playing.
Some research on this pianist also reveals that she is around 70years old, and that she lost her sight around 10 years ago through illness. Her lack of sight prevented her from continuing her career which was focused around chamber music (she has partnered Nathan Milstein amongst other luminaries) and so she adapted to her situation and is now performing as a soloist. I would love people's thoughts on listening to the samples of her CDs on her website. The teaching section on the website throws up some very forward thinking ideas on her teaching - she is a professor of piano and chamber music at Trinity Laban in London, England.
I just also found this youtube clip of her warming up earlier this year, playing Percy Grainger's, rather tricky but stunningly faithful, arrangement of Gabriel Faure's song 'Apres en Reve'.

Hope you all enjoy her as much as I have.
Brave and talented.

That Faure was magnificent! Incredibly strong, supple, and precise technique for a person of any age!

I'll have to have a listen to some of the cd samples. I notice she's even recorded the great Carl Czerny!

Thanks-a wonderful find.

Glad you liked the Faure - and to think this is her warming up before a concert and giving such a committed rendition!
