Because she seems absolutely unstoppable.

She played all five Rachmaninoff! I mean she started the year doing that. And since has wowed every audience that's seen her.

When I listen to her playing my brain bends inside out at the way she follows the path of every note even in the most intricate passages, and at speed. Phenomenal.

She is incredibly talented. She also seems to be enjoying it so much, I can't wait to see more of her.

Thanks OP.

Yes, whenever you see her she looks like she's having the time of her life. Reminds me a lot of the women pianists of the 1950s and 1960s with their extravagant gowns dashing around all over the world.

We have tickets to see her in London at the end of the month and I'm looking forward to it like you wouldn't believe. It's a genuinely exciting time for people who like listening to piano music.

Yeah really. I feel very lucky. Her tickets sell very fast. When I bought them I think the only other way of seeing her in Europe during 2023/4 was sitting behind a pillar in Prague in February 😄

She is amazing - I saw her in Edinburgh recently (nice frocks). But there are so many other incredible pianists - we really are spoilt for choice! In the last few months I have seen Pavel Kolesnikov, Benjamin Grosvenor, Sir András Schiff, and others - all incredible in different ways. No one pianist can be the best interpreter of every composer.
