There’s an article about Simone Dinnerstein in Tuesday’s  New York Times. She, along with her parents, Simon and Renee Dinnerstein, were on the Park Slope 100. Her recording of the Goldberg Variations is being released on Telarc.

If you want to be a concert pianist when you grow up, there are
certain rules. You do start playing as a young child. You don’t drop
out of Juilliard. You do win competitions and get the attention of
managers at a young age. You don’t end up at 30 with no management and
no bookings, raising the money yourself for your first recording. And
you definitely don’t make your New York recital debut with Bach’s
demanding “Goldberg” Variations, which are supposed to reflect the
wisdom of long experience, and Baroque style.

Ms.
Dinnerstein’s recording of the “Goldberg” Variations is being released
today by Telarc. It is a distinctive approach to the work: colorful and
idiosyncratic, a contemporary pianist’s rather than a harpsichordist’s
account. It starts with a long, thoughtful, hesitant Aria that seems to
be struggling to lift itself uncertainly out of silence.
