Not only Stockhausen, but also Beffa. And if I were giving stars to the performance of the Stravinsky "Petrouchka" (which, as I flatter myself, I like to think I know pretty well), I'd give it a 5/5. (Hence, my eagerness to compare it directly with Yuja's recording!)
I forgot to mention too that the SQ on this recording is great, even if (in the Stockhausen Klavierstucke - sorry, I don't dare use an umlaut!) the tone quality is sometimes. . . uh. . . secondary! ;-) But in all seriousness, the vast dynamic range (and it IS truly gigantic!) and the ability to sustain even the tiniest wisps of tone over long durations are pretty breathtaking on this recording (and also a tribute to the piano she's using). My problems have more to do with the music itself rather than Vanessa's execution of it.
BTW, Madeline agrees with you that most babe musicians have that tell-tale (nobody's home!) "vacant stare". ;-)
As for me, I've got to get back and check the Italian gossip magazines to see who Vanessa's latest boyfriend is and what else she's been up to recently.
