Ingrid Fliter( Argentina)

“Like her fellow Argentinean, Martha Argerich, Fliter has a prodigious technique and a blazing .temperament combined with a poetic sensibility. Her playing values musical integrity to such a degree that it is blessedly free of self-conscious mannerism…it's been awhile since I've heard this music done with so much lyric charm, sophistication and elegance.”
