My only encounter with an Oxana Yablonskaya performance (and a darn good encounter that was!) was when she took on Prokofiev's 5th Concerto with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra slightly under a decade ago. Effortless virtuosity, poise, incredible stature, and, best of all, among the wittiest Prokofiev playing I've ever heard 'live'. Lionel Choi Singapore http://www.singnet.com.sg/~lionelc/dummies.html
