I heard her play this at Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota in the early 1980's. How lucky I was to hear this live...what a glorious musical education. I still remember how she broke strings on both of the concert grands. (Pianos were moved/switched in the interval.) She played those Steinways to inches of their lives over that long weekend of concertizing. Her Schumann, after the Rzewski was sublime...best playing I have ever heard
Absolutely wonderful. Much prefer it to the Drury and Hamelin (so far anyway, only listened up to the 11th variation. Can't wait to hear how she deals with the cadenza).
AMAZING!!! This is my favorite 20th century piece of music.

very timely.

Must say, to my taste, Hamelin's version sounds robotic and heartless compared to this very expressive performance by the wonderful Oppens.
