And a woman. She must be 10x better than men in this organ world to receive recognition that she does.

I had the pleasure of meeting her at St Sulpice last summer. Very nice lady.

I wish she would record on St Sulpice more now that the church is empty most of the time.

Thank you Vidas for your Podcast series. I recently discovered this channel and started listening to more of your Podcasts and I am really enjoying all the insight into all these organists' perspectives that you offer.

An inspiration, thanks so much for this. She has given me encouragement, but more importantly useful tips on how I can make my terrible improvisation better!

She is the most powerful organist I've seen and the very reason I finally bought a a keyboard & pedal board and started to practice the organ (I find it suits me so much better than the piano...). Thank you Vidas for this interview - it's so rare to see her talk about all these things, especially in English (her accent is adorable!:)

Yes, it was very nice to meet her in Vilnius back in the day. I wonder how is she playing now under the conditions of quarantine...

@@SecretsofOrganPlaying I guess she keeps teaching online at Royal College, and just practicing at home till Sulpice opens and concerts allowed. I imagine her learning a bunch of new repertoire, and I keep hoping she would start composing at last, but she probably doesn't. :) Have you thought of asking around how organists try to turn this unusual time to their advantage?
