Who or what were the most important influences on your musical life and career?
Maria Curcio-Diamand, who was Arthur Schnabel’s favourite pupil, was my first great mentor. She opened my ears and heart to the art of sound and technique.
What have been the greatest challenges of your career so far?
I think my biggest challenge has turned into an asset. When people see a photo of me, they don’t expect me to play all the works of Ligeti!
