I was completely taken with Anna Geniushene’s performance. It was probably her touch that first made me sit up and take notice. She seems to effortlessly produce a beauty of tone, and her phrasing was shapely and compelling every time she touched the keys. The vivacity had to be heard to be believed. This was a wonderful performance.
