Paul Lewis (piano)

“A more auspicious start would be hard to imagine... Lewis's unalloyed musicianship and overall mastery are worth their weight in gold; every bar declares his calibre and generosity of spirit. Harmonia Mundi's sound is excellent and I can scarcely wait to hear the rest of this deeply serious and sensitive young pianist's epic undertaking.” The Gramophone, September 2005

Mieczyslaw Horszowski (piano)

Recorded June 4th 1991.

Andras Schiff said of Horszowski’s Chopin: ‘It’s as though he had written the music himself. It’s unbelievably unpredictable, and yet it’s completely natural, and comes from within the composition. I learned a great deal about rubato from Horszowski, because he uses it in a way that’s like Chopin must have done: he never loses the pulse, and yet it’s played with great freedom.’
