"Playing of intelligence and authority with a poetic understanding that could bring Schubert's Sonata in A minor D.537 vividly to life. The seemingly ungrateful rather heavy-handed chords were given a new life and meaning that I have rarely heard from others."
<>
"Her transcendental technique and musicianship brought Agosti's famous transcription of Stravinsky's "Firebird" vividly to life. Some remarkable playing for its intelligence and musicianship allied to a clarity and technical mastery."
​
<>
​
"Brahms' 8 Pieces op.76 were played with fluidity and luminosity that she combined with mastery and musicianship."
<>
​
"There was scintillating brilliance to the second movement of the Haydn Sonata in G that she played with crystalline clarity."
<>
​
"She played Soiree de Vienne No. 6 by Schubert in Liszt's teasingly tantalizing transcription with subtle charm and a lightweight jeux perle of great character and style."
