But if you are interested in the exceptional and the v=ry best--then that seems she does not present the best case. I just want =o be fair. To be able to play the Sibelius concerto at all, sufficient to =et into Julliard is an accomplishment, and a non trivial one. That does no= mean one is therefore competitive in the concert world and that one would=get to play it at Carnegie Hall (where I was last night playing with a gre=t pianist Piers Lane, from England by way of Australia). And I do not know=if she has a distinctive musical intelligence that compensates for some sh=rtcoming in the surface brilliance of the athleticism--the way Robert Mann= Alexander Schneider and Gidon Kremer--all great artists whose violin play=ng was on the highest level but not by virtue of virtuosity alone but owin= to the character of thought and originality.
