I wasn't familiar with her before, but I decided to attend, since I'm working on the 3rd movement at the moment, and I'm glad I did - She played very lyrically, with a very flowing and burnished sound in the first movement, clear and natural phrasing, and a good mesh and interplay with the orchestra. The second movement was good, but could have used a little more space and phrasing, and a little more range in dynamics (But everyone I've seen lately seems to have a little cobweb or two to shake out after not performing for so long). The 3rd movement was, thankfully, very lyrical and playful - It was a well-chosen tempo and not the horserace tempo I hear too much of, and she was able to phrase carefully and get a variety of sounds, without ever sounding harsh.

I look forward to hearing her live again!
