I attended this concert. In the first half, I thought the Bach was well-played, but the Beethoven just didn't come across well to me; not a great performance - no hiding places in such a familiar piece. The second-half however, was superb. The performance of the Schumann Geistervariationen is amongst the greatest performances I've seen live - truly beautiful playing. Then the Prokofiev was an exciting finale to the programmed works. The encore, again, by Schumann was, again, beautiful.
