"Her natural grace combined with her musical
poetry immediately charmed and astonished her audience."
"A young and extraordinary pianist, under her hands, Chopin Prokofieff or Liszt
belong to another dimension. Her playing is spectacular, poetic and so inspiring."
Joseph Silverstein, Music Director
Emeritus
Conductor
Utah Symphony
"Wonderful command of the instrument."
The Salt Lake Tribune
Catherine Reese
"The programs centerpiece was a bravura performance
in Liszt's Piano Concerto attacked with confidence and flair. Her strength
in the splashy chords and sparkling runs of the first movement was matched in a
thoughtful nicely controlled slow movement that alternated episodes of shade and
sunlight."
"The growing responsiveness between soloist and orchestra was most evident
in an exuberant finale that brought the audience to it's feet."

"She may look small but the music stands tall"

Bruce Potterton, director
"In a demanding program, she showed herself to be
one of those rare persons who seem to "live" the music and, rarer still,
retain that quality in performance."
"In Beethoven's Opus 57 Sonata, her certain grasp of the composer's subtle
rhythmic and dynamic shifts coupled with her effortless technique lent a startling
freshness to her interpretation; the relaxed breathing of the long under-phrases
in the finale was memorable."
"...continually achieved two ideal goals in her playing, songful lyricism and
fiery excitement.... in Chopin's B-flat Minor Nocturne sounding like a spontaneous
creation, a poem directed at her listeners."
".. in the slow movement of Prokofieff's 6th Sonata riding wave upon wave of
lovely voicing.."
