"Michelangeli plays an instrument made in the 1910s which produces a wonderfully blended tone and a fine mellow sonority. The Ballades are given a performance of the greatest distinction...there is no doubt that this is very fine playing, and it is superbly recorded."
Penguin Stereo Record Guide, 1982

"Michelangeli plays an instrument made in the 1910s which produces a wonderfully blended tone and a fine mellow sonority. The Ballades are given a performance of the greatest distinction [...] there is no doubt that this is very fine playing, and it is superbly recorded."
The New Penguin Stereo Record Guide, 1982

"No legato scales could be more perfectly even than his, no chords more weighty, more sonorous (at all dynamic levels) or more perfectly attached, no part-playing clearer, no texture better balanced or presented with more refinement of touch and tone. [...] piano playing of such quality really must have the highest accolade [...]"
Gramophone, 1971

"Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli gives us a lovely interpretation, exquisitely executed. The elegance of his accentuation and voicing is completely enchanting [...] Deutsche Grammophon provides superb sound for this important release."
The American Record Guide, 1972 reviewing the Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 4
