You've been critical of her "playing?" By that you mean her interpretations?
Follow Ups:
Yes, She certainly has great technique and can play anything but she does not usually understand the overall structure of a piece of music. But in piano terms she is very young and it takes a lot of time to find the emotional content of a piece of music. If she came to San Antonio I certainly would go see her just like I saw Horowitz 2 times. But I did not go to the Horowitz concerts for the music but just to be thrilled by his technique and charisma. The best piano recital I ever saw was Richter in Chicago. He played 5 Beethoven Sonatas and after the concert everybody was talking about Beethoven, not Richter. A memorable concert

nah, It's fine if you don't like her choices and interpretations but you are just plain wrong about her understanding the overall structure of the music. She understands it just fine. She does her home work and always has.
Funny you should mention Richter. I have seen him dismissed as a "pounder." by very knowledgeable people in the business. I don't agree with that sentiment although there I times when I see where it is coming from.
