Alice Sara Ott: Schumann, Schubert, Mussorgsky at Royal Festival Hall

The young German pianist Alice Sara Ott first shot to fame stepping in to replace Lang Lang at short notice with a performance that The Times said 'rings out with a freedom, fluidity and lack of contrivance which is entirely refreshing.' Since then, John Amis has declared, 'During my long life I have heard Gieseking, Cortot, Lipatti, Horowitz, Richter, Michelangeli, Schnabel, Brendel, Lupu, Perahia and many other great pianists - added to them now is Alice Sara Ott, no doubt about that.'
