Reviews:

“For its force of artistic personality and for the refreshing view of Chopin it offers, this release remains most worthy of attention.” - American Record Guide

“Everything on this disc has a sense of adventure. ‘It felt so new and so fresh to me,’ she says of her return to Chopin—and it feels the same way to me.” - Fanfare

“Rarely has Chopin been so decidedly taken out of the salon and made to speak with such a dark, rich and full eloquence...such a dramatic reappraisal lifts Chopin far above more familiar glamorous and facile considerations. The Ballade, in particular, is superb.” - Gramophone
