»Laure Favre-Kahn is an artist whose commitment to the piano is on the same level with her sensitivity in life. She is an ardent and fragile woman: this can be heard in the music, as much by her frank attacks as by her subtle rubato, by her moving flexions as by her flawless virtuosity.« – Alain Duault
