The Strad - Session report

"…It would take a stony heart, listening to Dego's playing, to resist the extroverted Paganini-meets-Brahms appeal of the Busoni Concerto…

Indeed, her approach to both this and the Brahms on the new album illuminates just how deeply Busoni was influenced by Brahms's example, working in some near-direct quotations, and thus also where he went his own way with a lightness of spirit that he struggled to emulate in his later music."
