Elisso is an artist of highest caliber, perhaps the most outstanding woman pianist of our time. She is a deeply sincere, serious and extremely modest musician. I am impressed by her in every way. Could you imagine a more beautiful Schumann than the one played tonight by Elisso? Since Neuhaus I haven't heard such a Schumann performance. Sviatoslav Richter from B.
