Exquisitely delicate, nuanced and gentle. I prefer the sound of this recording, close with no reverb at all, to some other I've heard (even the Schiff). The piano is in the room with you and her astonishing performance is an intimate experience. I did not find the use of the pedal excessive, it seems to me she uses very little pedal. Her playing is remarkably similar to Andras Schiff. I played this cd at a party and many people asked who the performer was and agreed she is extraordinary. Very highly recommended.
