Leonskaja’s live performances of the Schumann and Grieg piano concertos have been cause for wonder...There are other ways of performing these works, but these interpretations are utterly consistent and totally enlightening.

February 2024

In Leonskaja’s favour, no one could accuse her of being fussy, preening or over-calculated, and there are times when she communicates a sure sense of the music’s direction.
