From the Artist
"I've always been fascinated by Chopin's waltzes. He composed them all through his life, from early youth until shortly before his death. His whole life and his personality are reflected in the waltzes...They say that home isn't a place but a feeling. I can identify with how torn Chopin felt, because I also grew up and live between two cultures. Neither in Germany nor in Japan do I have a proper homeland. In both countries I'm regarded as a foreigner. For me, too, music is the only place where I really feel at home."--Alice Sara Ott

Ott, though barely out of her teens, continually impresses critics and audiences alike with her recitals throughout Europe and Japan.
