Yes I listened 'blind' not knowing who it was, and was struck by such an individual and thoughtful approach to a work I know well from Richter (above all), Pletnov, Cortot and others. She often chose more reflective tempi than Richter, and of course had the idea of adding the extra variations in differently, even to the extent of not having Schumann's intended finale (which is overwhelmingly manic in Richter's live performances) as the finale. Intriguing. Came across as a more composed work (in the other sense). I thought she could have done with a wider tonal palette, but clearly an artist with something to say about the music she plays.
Alison: "One of my very favourite young pianists."
Pianorak: "ditto."
Amateur51: "Agreed, very promising."
For goodness sake, how pathetically patronising. She'll be 40 next year
That's not young & it's far, far too old to be labelled "promising". She's better than that & I agree with Silvestrione (& Gradus).
She was a New Generation Artist (2007-2009) and I’m sure she is still often being referred to as an ex-NGA. Not surprising I (too) thought she was 'young and promising.’

Oh dear, Osborn
My 'promising' remark was made in complete ignorance of her age and says more about how well I know her as a performer and so there was nothing 'patronising' about my remark I assure you
I turned sixty at the end of last year and forty IS young as far as I'm concerned. Young is good: so is sixty'
