Professor
Hideo
Saito,
the
professor
of
Seiji
Ozawa
who
established
the
famous
Saito
Memorial
Orchestra
and
named
it
after
his
master,
commented
on
Rinko
Kobayashi's
performance
when
he
heard
her
playing
Concerto
in
A
major
by
Liszt
"She
will
become
one
of
the
few
soloists
who
can
lead
orchestras
with
her
charisma".
Jan
Weber
wrote
in
Ruch
Muzyczny
"...
She
is
a
genuine
pianist
with
outstanding
skill
...
playing
Rachmaninov
with
demonlike
fervour,
releasing
a
veritable
storm
over
the
keyboard,
all
the
while
in
perfect
agreement
with
the
composers
intentions..."
I
had
been
unable
to
work
out
the
complexity
of
the
Sonata
even
while
listening
to
pianists
such
as
Ogdon,
Cliburn
or
Horovitz.
Rinko
Kobayashi
showed
a
superb
grasp
of
the
Sonata,
revealing
an
absolute
command of the piano.
