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.
