I was shocked that this incredible artist was only 26!! She has such a different style, very soft and suttle, very different form artists such as Joshua Bell. It is definetly worth seeing.

Britten is difficult to listen to but worth the effort. Bach was lucid and stirring. Walpole was not that enjoyable, seems lackluster.
The musicianship was exceptional throughout.
