“The question of the correct dosage is certainly the most delicate, especially in the Chopin playing. Is it about feeling reinforcement, demonstration of expressive qualities? How quickly does such a spinned, self-centering nocturne, such as the well-known and most popular in C sharp minor, op. posth, to the proximity of “Salonkitsch”! And how fragile it can sound, if the same means are applied sparingly and purposefully, each subject to the rhetoric of a phrase.
This quality not only distinguishes the playing of Nelson Freires, they are also impressively presented by Eugène Mursky” – Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
“For stimulation and a beautiful realization of an aesthetic judgment, this set is highly recommended” – Fanfare Magazine
