About
"The core of my interpretation derives from the 'German'masters I have come to know: Fleisher the pupil of Schnabel; Perahia and Schenker; Valentin Erben of the Alban Berg Quartet – all rooted in the great tradition of and respect for this noble 'Goethean' culture. This extends even to my choice of piano: a Bechstein, in homage to the profound and luminous sound of the mythic recordings by Fischer and Kempff (I play the latter's rarely heard cadenzas)."

Shani Diluka is a young pianist with a lot to say. She coaxes a beautiful sound from her Bechstein, spinning a lustrously beautiful thread through the Adagio of the B flat major Concerto...Diluka's resume mentions Martha Argerich and there is perhaps a touch of the great Argentinian's highly reactive, febrile approach to the music in this reading...Diluka, though, is clearly an artist to watch and her sense of individuality is refreshing
