“What a triumph of pianism. Thank you for the wonderful concert.” Sarah Pope, professional viola player – Concert on 16 October 2015 with Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition
“Dear Gisela: Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your concert on Sunday. You re-ignited my love for the preludes by both composers. And I wanted to congratulate you on that wonderful achievement of playing all the Chopin Préludes – it was fantastic. And your presentation of the pieces and notes added a great deal. See you soon, Penny” Chopin meets Debussy – 18 November 2018
