My favourite Ukranian Pianist

[Chuft-Captain]

After only discovering this pianist on youtube about a month ago, I recently ordered the first classical box-set I've purchased in many years...

To put this in perspective, the last classical box-set I got was the Perahia/Haitink/Concertgebouw recording (circa 1995) , widely regarded (certainly by me) as the best recording of the Beethoven Concertos:

So why now, after all these years? You may understand if you watch some of her YT clips:
Der Erlk?nig Schubert Liszt
Rachmaninoff Etude Op. 39 No. 6 "Little Red Riding Hood"
Rachmaninoff Prelude in g minor op. 23 #5 (encore after a concert)
Liszt La Campanella
Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (encore after a concert)
