Schiff’s lectures on music are quite wonderful, entertaining, full of insights, and an example of a great mind not above engaging his audience as peers both intellectually and emotionally. You feel like he is talking to you directly. —Pat Wagner

Had not heard of Anastasia Huppmann. She’s good! Thank you, Vitaliy.
What strikes me about Huppmann’s playing: intelligence. No note Beethoven write is incidental to her.
