Awards and reviews

December 2010

an impressive and sympathetically recorded calling-card from a Russian-American pianist who dares to be different - and three cheers for that. Her expressive range and complete empathy with each composer represented here make one hope for more from her.

Throughout her highly diverse programme, she is in complete command of every element. Her attention to clarity and tonal values is particularly noteworthy, and she summons appropriate bravura for the demanding Balakirev and Moszowski selections...An auspicious debut
