Reviews "She plays with a familiar level of energy. Her sparkling treble notes in particular possess radiance, her runs, as at the end of the first section, pearl with pithy composure, and her octaves are alive with weight and the power of purposeful accentuation. One experiences Martha Argerich on new terrain with familiar pianistic qualities." (Fono Forum, July 2021)  Price: $18.98 |
