Ruth captures the floating melancholy, paramount recording !

fantastic playing. One of the best I have ever heard (playing this genius piece). Only Bach can make me speechless.

I love Ruth and have for many years. She is so immensely talented, and one of the kindest, gentlest and nicest persons anyone could ever meet.

Very Clean, Fine, Refined, Mature playing and Ruth was just 25 when she recorded this.

Superb! She is one of the best, and, I think, under-rated pianists.

Until recently, she has been nearly forgotten, but not by me. I've loved her playing for more than 50 years. Thank God she is finally showing up on YT.

And thank you, too.

@snaaptaker 50 years for me,also. I first heard of her in 1957 when her "Forbidden Childhood" was published. I was in high school, wrote to her and she graciously replied. I did my senior paper on her life. Heard her several times in concert 1962 to 1977.

A wonderful human being and a great artist.

@junglejim66 I read her book which already translated into Chinese when I was in high school too. But never get to hear her recording till I've been in US two years ago and have the chance to log on Youtube. It's so sad that we can't watch Youtube in China.
