Nov/Dec 2021

Her take on the Diabelli Variations strikes me as different in its interpretive vision from that of the many others I’ve heard. She doesn’t try to confer upon it in the end, as others do, a mantle of divinity...Her technical mastery of the score is second to none, and her reading is refreshingly free of the mythologizing baggage that has led to ascribing some metaphysical meaning to the work.
