Although you have received prizes and won many prestigious piano competitions, including the Busoni and the Scottish International Piano Competitions, it seems that it was the Van Cliburn Competition that gave a real boost to your career.

The win in Texas put me onto a different level of a number of concerts a year, which in time became exhausting. After a few years of a hectic concert schedule, I eventually made a decision to cut it down to have more time for other things, like teaching and learning new repertoire.
