Eleanor: “But I do have to say – I want to say so much – I have always said that you are such a fantastic natural musician that I have always felt, well… slightly in awe! No, I do, because you have this incredible instinct and natural rhythm and sense of rubato, texture, intense emotion – every single thing you have – and it seems so natural. And that is what is so marvellous. And you encompass so many fields; I mean you play early music, you play Liszt and Chopin and you have a vast span.”
Joanna: “All I can say is that I am very glad if I have the effect of giving anybody any pleasure at all with my playing, because I enjoy playing. It isn’t a question of wanting to play to people; I just enjoy playing the music. If it does work out that people find there is more in it than they might hear – something different – something a bit more special, then that is fantastic; that’s really the whole raison d’etre.”
