Mahani Teave - Rapa Nui Odyssey / 2CD set

She is in her late 30s, but sounds more like an artist of the 1950s/’60s, following in the footsteps of an Arrau or Nikolayeva: someone with an entirely natural feel for what the piano is all about and a personality that can meld ideally with the composers’ worlds. She has a rich, luminous tone which complements a splendid instinct for rubato, expert voicing and colouring...This is sincere, pure and magnificent artistry. ~ BBC Music Magazine
