Another brilliant interview with Anna. This is the 2nd interview with her I've watched. It is great that the interviewer knows his subject & asks intelligent questions unlike other interviewers with musicians who don't know the subject nor music. have subscribed.
Telling her - or any other young female organist - to play like a man is not only intellectually wrong, it's damned ignorant and short-sighted. Sure, teach these ladies the tried and true methods, but let them broaden their horizons and develop their own skills and methods. One of them is likely to find a new way of playing the organ that reaches other people who don't ordinarily enjoy the sound of an organ. Kind of like Anna has with the movie scores, maybe??. Look at how many people now hear the organ in a different way because of her!
Regarding "play like a man," it's a lot more likely that Anna was playing with plenty of power and authority, but that the listener's brain couldn't cope with power and authority coming into his ears when a cute little blonde girl was playing, and so his brain filtered it out. They used to say the same thing when women auditioned for American orchestras before they started using screens -- their playing sounded weak and frivolous ... until the juries couldn't SEE them. They suddenly, they were powerful and rich and strong sounding. People listen with their eyes, and jurists are no different.

Anna is just so fantastic!
She is the best! What a delightful interview. Totally enjoyable. Well done !
Brilliant and uplifting interview ... on both sides! Thank you both. R (Australia)
What Anna says about being stressed and what one of her Zambian friends says, wow, that is sobering and such wisdom from the Zambian friend.
My favourite musician ever!

I love this! Anna is so inspiring; her description of her Bonobo experience made me cry.
Ugh! I wish I had known she was on tour here! I would have gone to her Philly and AC concerts!
There is something about watching an expert, in any field. Some one who is enthusiastic and skilled, It lifts the spirits.
Intelligent, talented, humorous, eloquent, enthusiastic, pretty,.....the whole package. And didn't hear her use the words, _oh, absolutely!_ once.
I hope you will return to the US and play the Wanamaker and maybe make a recording there. I promise I won't miss you this time no matter what.
