Once you >type that name a couple of times you don't soon forget it! Well,at the time i was her pupil,she was making a recording of all Beethoven piano sonatas(or at least most of them),for the label Connoisseur,it was about 1'980. I really don't know if she is doing it again.I hope so,because her Beethoven is just superb. From my personal taste,her best performances are: Beethoven,Liszt,the Russian masters(specially Rachmaninnoff and Prokofieff),and from Chopin,her performance of the Bbminor Sonata,is a must. In general terms i like all her playing.She has a kind of "Big" pianism. Best wishes. Gerardo:.
