‘Rachmaninoff’s Preludes Op. 32. We heard No. 10 in B minor and No. 12 in G-sharp
minor, both beautifully played and highlights of the evening. Ms. Lee gave the B minor
Prelude the perfect feeling of solemnity, and one relished each moment of the glorious
build. Moving on to the G-sharp minor Prelude, she played with crystalline clarity in the
right-hand patterns, and a penetrating tone in the left-hand melody. Here one heard the
command and artistic liberty which can take an audience on a truly memorable journey.
These pieces fit the pianist like a glove. Ms. Lee closed her program with
Liszt’s Réminiscences de Norma (Bellini) by Franz Liszt, a virtuoso tour de force.
...etc..Ms. Lee came so close to conveying these qualities that one can only hope that she
will continue to play the piece for years to come. It will surely become a signature
triumph. Meanwhile, it was certainly a high voltage ending to what was an excellent
introduction to this New York audience.’
