‘There is perfection in the way that profound sadness is finally transcended by a shift into heavenly major-key light, and it needs equal perfection, anchoring and inwardness in the playing. That Cooper achieved those qualities at the most profound level – the ideal of time becoming space – meant that the last two movements could seem superfluous: as in the "Unfinished" Symphony, Schubert seems to have said enough at the midway-point. Hyper-alertness and that unique diamantine quality Cooper's right hand brings to the upper register kept us hooked, though, to the headlong conclusion. For the bows, a standing ovation the Wigmore audience rarely grants, passionate devotion and gratitude, but no fuss. A place among the immortals is assured, but there are hopefully many more years of pianistic revelations to come.’
