Just listening to this great recording of the label MA Recordings, worth getting more of. Exceptional sound quality. This instrument is called „hang“, similar to a steel drum.
Beautifully stated!
They are able to record Chesky-like airy, spacious, holographic sound. Fantastic piano and bass sound here.
This is also really good music and sound! I have quite all of their albums.
Thanks for the reply. It is wonderful having people post music that they enjoy. Leads me on a different path of exploration every time. In addition, as my knowledge of classical music is limited, I turn to guides. I find “Classical Music - Third Ear - The Essential Listening Companion” to be an invaluable guide. However, it is a little bit dated. It was published in 2002, and I haven’t seen any updated editions.

I heard and compared a few pieces of her Bach now. I think she has a very valuable style that is worth having as one of the different characters of players. To me she has an ascetic, rather finedynamically than emotionally compelling/expressive style with a very clear, shining, light and levitating tone. At first I had an impression of a too mechanical, uninvolved style compared to e.g. Perahia, Anderszewski or Argerich but her playing also had a partly more interesting and challenging tension that stands out of her imo otherwise rather distant approach. I especially like her Goldberg and Art of fugue, thanks for that hint!
