The balance between the emotions and the intellect were set with unfailing good taste throughout this recital.
The Independent
Joshua’s fortepiano playing electrified the audience at the Purcell Room. Her recital was distinguished not just by insightful, intelligent musicianship, but also by the refinement and shading of the tone colours she extracted from her instrument.
Harpsichord and Fortepiano
Sharona’s playing demonstrated that in the hands of an excellent musician the fortepiano’s qualities can enhance the work of the greatest composers. The music was played so admirably and with such clarity and intensity as to cause even the most jaundiced concert-goer to listen with fresh ears.
Musical Opinion
Heard on this pure-sounding instrument and from such excellent hands, it is difficult to prefer the merely pianistic versions offered today.
