[ Deutsche Grammophon / 28 CD Box Set ]
Release Date: Friday 4 March 2022
Deutsche Grammophon presents a 28-CD set highlighting the riches of their Chopin catalogue: including eight Chopin Competition winners and many of the most legendary Chopin artists of all time.
"one has no hesitation in declaring Maria João Pires among the most eloquent master-musicians of our time." - Gramophone
"Pollini is the absolute master of the technical difficulties as the very opening band proclaims, but he also hits off the mood of the more introverted pieces with precision." Hi Fi news
"I'd rather listen to Ruth Slenczynska playing Chopin than just about anyone else. Three specific characteristics are her rhythmic acuity, razor-sharp precision in chord playing and rapid passagework, and an unerring grasp of structure" Gramophone
"I would trade these richly satisfying accounts any day for others that lack the musical integrity and clarity of conception that Blechacz and Semkow bring to these works." Gramophone
"Few recordings of these works have such a perfect combination of virtuosity and compelling artistic insight as these. Argerich shows her remarkable grasp of Chopin's music." Gramophone
"[Tamas Vasary's] virtuosity is delicate, his phrasing is seductive, and always at the service of a sensitive poetic imagination." The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians
