Not "look how good I am!" but rather "Come with me into this musical landscape. Isn't this piece wonderful?" That is, she's a clear window, using her talent to take you somewhere. Reminds me of the pianist Alexandra Dovgan in this approach.
Dear Clara, I hava a question. How is it possible to play all this long and difficult pieces by memory? I enjoy your videos so much. God bless you, Alex.
What a striking console. I love the fact that this very talented organist slided onto the bench,of this organ, with just the clothes on her back and what was in her fingers and heart. This is how a recital should be played these days.
