Anna Fedorova has previously been praised here and here is another interesting recording. She certainly does something different and has loads of spirit.
Follow Ups:
I was a fan when she was at the competition stage of her career, but I was just a little disappointed by her first (solo) recording on Channel Classics ("Four Fantaisies" - Scriabin, Chopin, Beethoven and Schumann). In this album, I felt that her technique itself wasn't at the highest level, and in fact it was inferior to Channel's previous "house pianist", Dejan Lazic - although Lazic was often impossibly willful in his solo albums.
I don't have the CD - Anna was new to me so I watched a few videos on YT. I particularly liked her Chopin. Mazurkas, various other works and the Bm Sonata. Plying was clean, clear, fluent and easy to like. I then listened to Martha A's late performance of the Bm on YT and I preferred Anna. She's quite a conservative pianist but there's emotion and sudden flashes behind that. I'm ruined for Rachmaninov, since I usually listen to the composer playing his own works, and that's just in another cosmos.
