I think this is so special. I have listened to many violists who’ve recorded themselves playing this piece. Many great players who have mastered this piece, but you were the first that actually connected emotion to the piece, for me at least. This piece has never made me cry. Your performance made me tear up. It was so beautiful and relatable. Thank you 🙏!

This performance hits everything for me: tremendous intrigue and power, technical achievement, purposeful rhythm, and gorgeous emotional phrasing. The finest Walton first movement I’ve had the privilege to listen to!

3:20 - 3:41 is my favorite part of this movement it's sooo good 😭❤

Lovely sound, and very impressive ability to get up to the higher registers with what seem to be relatively small hands for a violist!

Very excellent work. YOu should be proud.

Great performance form both you and the pianist. I would have preferred this a little bit slower but great playing and you are extremely talented. Thumbs up from me.

I'm 4 years older, have twice bigger hands and honestly have some difficulties with this piece so that realy impresses me. But I can't say there is much music in her playing.

Bela interpretação, compatível coma idade talvez, no ponto de vista musical claro, MAS está tudo aí e está lindo, sofro ja fazem alguns anos com esse concerto! rsrsrs

The best musicians dont need to swing around all over the place make weird faces every time they play a note or change positions to show "expression" expressions should be shown through the music itself.

Tecnicamente perfeito, mas senti falta de emoção. Algo além de tocar certo, no ritmo, afinado...

she has no emotions, but i love her playing
