Like Emil Gilels put it: The musician steps aside - and the music appears. Great!

Out of the mouths of babes and children.

In this world full of woe, I woke up stressed and anxious, then listened to her. Now more content.

Voicing was perfect (listen to the tenor from the start), the various rits were perfect.

Why had I not heard of her?

About to investigate further. But can anything surpass Bach?

Maybe - just checked her Franck. 1.02:50.My favourite transition in all of music.

Please please do not enter any competitions. It will destroy you.

OMG - last note of the Franck!

She's ludicrously good. Had the chance to see her in a private recital and she blew my mind. Her Barcarolle is out of this world and she played a ferocious Appasionata. Her mentor is the great Maestro Sokolov. She's studying in Paris from what I hear. Plenty of projects in the work, including a Carnegie debut and a huge recording project I think I'm not allowed to share details on yet.
Currently working on:
Beethoven Waldstein Sonata
Beethoven Concerto No. 3
Bach French Suite No. 3
Chopin Etudes Op. 10
Chopin Ballade No. 4
Mozart Concerto No. 23
