Remarks:
"Pires has put together an ingenious program, ranging from Chopin's masterful B minor Piano Sonata to the soulful G minor Cello Sonata, and including the final sets of nocturnes, mazurkas and waltzes, as well as the magnificent Polonaise-Fantaisie in A flat major. Throughout, Pires' playing is exemplary. Her technique is impeccable -- nary a note goes awry even in the B minor Sonata's Molto vivace Scherzo -- but this is the least of her successes. More important is her balance of the composer's lyrical melodies with his chromatic harmonies, so that the expressivity of the melody is supported and enhanced, but never overshadowed by the intensity of the harmonies. Most important is Pires' uncanny ability to use phrasing and rubato without compromising the underlying rhythmic pulse of the music." -All Music GuideReviews
