I'm surprised she can play the piano with heels like that

And if she slides any further forward she may have a serious wardrobe malfunction.

Saint-Saëns: The Piano Concertos
Anna Malikova, piano
WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln, Thomas Sanderling conducting
Audite (2010)

Malikova’s playing is very polished, the orchestra very good, and the timing and balance between the two is perfect. These are excellent.

Mahler: Symphony No.9
Berliner Philharmoniker, Herbert von Karajan



An astounding performance, captured live at the 1982 Berlin Festival.

Schubert: Polonaise; 5 German Dances & minuets; Rondo; Concerto Movement
Chamber Orchestra of Europe
DG (1993/2016) Disc 6 from the box set “Schubert: The Edition 1 - Chamber, Orchestral, Piano”

I’ve had this box set for a couple of years and tend to just dip into it at random. It’s always rewarding.

It's amazing how much great music Schubert wrote even though he died in his 30s.
