Chris, what would be your choice for paying tribute to this young talent?

They're on the Berlin Classics label:
There are also some files on YouTube. I've heard none of these myself - my knowledge of her playing derives from a "pirate" DVD-Audio disc (i.e., recorded in concert by stealth) sent to me by one of her enthusiasts some years ago.
There's also an official statement which includes the following comments from Andreea Butucariu:
We would like to ask you – her public and friends - not to mourn her but to let her go in peace and remember her for what she was on this planet earth, a great musician and artist, probably too great for us to understand most of the time.
In my last phone conversation with her we spoke about music and we also laughed and mentioned her two dear friends and musical supporters Sol Gabetta and Patricia Kopatchinskaja; friends who have always been there for her and whom I would like to acknowledge and thank personally.
I would like to invite you to watch her last orchestra concert with the second Chopin Piano Concerto, concert which took place in Bucharest on the 7th of June of this year and which will be uploaded soon on her website.
Chris, thank so much for the link. I listened to some of her playing on the Youtube videos on her site. I'm surprised and saddened that I had not heard of her before. Her playing was very very nice - it has a sense of her almost dancing across the keys. I also listened to snippets on Amazon from her Piano & Forte CD. Her style can be heard there as well - dynamic but agile, a nice sense of timing. I wouldn't buy anything if I didn't like it, but between the Youtube and the Amazon links it was enough for me to pick up both of the discs you posted (I'm a fan of Enescu and Bartok). A tribute too late, but the talent was there, to be sure.
So sad.
