"Stunning virtuosity."
- Classic FM
"... superb performances ..."
- The Guardian
"... long been acknowledged as one of the finest versions of Chopin Etudes."
- ClassicalSource.com
"... provided more passion, more colour, more drama, than my wildest dreams ... Pollini's flexible rubato, combined with a lovely cantabile tone, maintained my interest and twanged that all-important heartstring ... blessed with a beautifully clear and vivid sound."
- BBC Music Magazine
Maurizio Pollini earned international recognition following the 1973 release of this album, one of the pianist's first for the Deutsche Grammophon label and still considered among the greatest recordings of these Chopin pieces ever made. BBC Music Magazine called this "the perfect performance."
