***

“There are, of course, things to admire: the almost Brahmsian shaping of the Op 49 Fantasia, which is revealed again as one of Chopin's most remarkable formal structures; the crystalline beauty of the line spun through both the Berceuse and the Barcarolle; the inwardness of the D flat major Nocturne, carefully nuanced yet crisply defined.”

BBC Music Magazine

July 2011

***

“He makes a magisterial start with the great Fantasie in F minor, viewing it from a German Romantic point of view”

Gramophone Magazine

August 2011

“The walzes are pointed up with gorgeously varied articulations and well-contoured bass-lines that thankfully draw more attention to the composer than the pianist...the engineering's resonant ambience communicates a palpable sense of occasion and flatters Barenboim's huge, colourful sonority.”
