Her Mozart is articulate, no less singing and clear than that of Perahia or Uchida. Her Scarlatti demonstrates an imperial control of tone. Like her compatriots, the late Guiomar Novaes and Nelson Freire, she has this genius for color which makes her an ideal interpreter of Debussy or Messiaen.”
latest album
“The title of this album pays homage to the so-called Golden Age of the piano. This tribute is done in a number of ways. One of them is a type of performance that refutes impersonal standardization. Each pianist of this era left his or her individual mark on his way of playing – unique, virtuosic, personal and colorful, which included a considerable number of risks taken on stage. The other is the choice of repertoire itself. Before the specialization imposed by the flourishing of piano competitions and the demands of the recording industry, pianists acted as curators of a vast musical museum, offering the listener a tour through centuries of History, starting in the 18th and reaching the 20th century.” – Irineu Perpétuo
