Overview
The American cellist has been the recipient of awards including the Leonard Bernstein Prize at the 2006 Schleswig-Holstein Festival, and five years later a MacArthur Foundation ‘genius grant’. Her diverse repertoire takes in contemporary works she has premiered, alongside the classics: Gramophone discerned ‘special qualities’ in her recording of the Bach Cello Suites, allowing ‘each movement of each suite to shine on its own terms’.
