Voices of the Press

International Piano

I enjoyed the sonatas very much. The B –flat minor is imbued with passion and drama … In fact, all of these performances sound fresh and new, bold and forthright.

The Winnipeg Free Press

Vital, intelligent readings. It's an invigorating display, with Fialkowska's superb technique piloting everything unfailingly and Chopin's vast range of drama vividly explored. As with everything from Fialkowska, a strong recommendation.

American Record Guide

The beautiful music on (this) release is matched by very beautiful playing, entirely of the kind, one imagines, that Chopin himself would have admired. Fialkowska's formidable technique tends to make these extremely challenging works seem effortless, natural, and most of the time, spontaneous. ... Best of all, she is able to communicate her deep psychic identification with some of Chopin's most gripping works in terms of elevated expressivity, elegance, and drama. This disc could well prove to be the premier Chopin release of the present decade.
