“Every time I hear McDermott in person or on recordings, I conclude anew that she's one of the great American pianists of her generation. Her depth of insight, precision of phrasing, and command of the piano on all levels, are ceaselessly marvelous.” ---David Patrick Stearns, The Philadelphia Inquirer
