“For Ann Schein, the all-Chopin group which she chose was a foreshadowing of her appearance Sunday in Constitution Hall, where she is to play the Chopin f minor Concerto with the Hague Philharmonic conducted by Willem van Otterloo….She already has achieved international kudos as a Chopin interpreter. One of her most enthusiastic fans is Arthur Rubinstein. Her Chopin is a rare combination of poetry and strength, its lines firmly shaped and its internal architecture crystal-clear. There are very few pianists who can equal this sort of exquisite Chopin playing. The brief concert was a genuine musical event and one of the most impressive displays of young American musicianship to be heard in the White house…after President Kennedy took office.”
