    I heard her play Liszt, inter alia.

    The best pianist ever, I think.

    There's an excellent video on YouTube of her playing Pathetique live. Well I'm sure any video of her playing it is excellent.

    I wonder if she has composed any herself?

    It would be good, if possible.

    Never heard anyone with such expression with human emotion with a piano

    She's really quite excellent! I particularly love her playing of Debussy, Chopin and Liszt. Have to say though, I'm a big fan of Barenboim and Schiff for Beethoven. Lisitsa doesn't quite do it for me for his music :)

    Yes,
    I was in Bath this month for her Beethoven recital. Sonata op 57 was worth the trip but she added , inter alia, Liszt which was magical place
    Play so much from memory

    So much played with no music sheets,
