Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2 [is] fiendishly difficult to play, and recordings with the requisite swagger aren't easy to find. We get one here – Beatrice Rana's first movement cadenza is jaw-dropping, and the moment where Prokofiev's massed brass pile in with their fateful minor third is as exhilarating as it is terrifying. [...] The closing pages [Tchaikovsky] have an incandescent glow. You’d happily settle for Rana’s performances as library recommendations for both works. Ripe, detailed sound too. 
She [Rana] has a particularly rewarding sense of rhythm, high sprung, light and incisive and entirely secure, which pays its way throughout both works. But hearing her navigating through the massive cadenzas as if they and their bitter grandeur were the most natural thing in the world leaves no doubt that this is a young pianist to be watched, listened to and reckoned with.
