Her playing has been described by the New York Concert Review as a pure delight… wonderfully evocative… vividly detailed… interpretations that plumbed emotional depths with harmonic colouring.

Conductor Richard Owen (New York Camerata) considers her as one of the finest pianists he has ever had the privilege of hearing.
