Stunning!

"The most lyrical performance you will ever hear of Chopin's First Concerto. Absolutely the most beautiful interpretation. Stunning and not to be missed."
Touching

"An Amazing larghetto (second movment) make this performence a must have. Pires make it beautiful and touching in all ways (as she also did in the nocturnes). My favorite recording of the first concerto is Zimerman's new recording which hasn't arrived to the U.S. If your intending to buy a recording of this concerto wait for Zimerman's new disc (it will be worth the wait)."
I like Pires, but...

"Here she employs almost irritatingly slow tempi in the first and third movements of the concerto maybe in order to produce crystal tones, which was pretty succesful in her performance of Chopin nocturnes. But, unfortunately, I feel that her beautiful tones don't compensate for the musical momentum, which is desperately essential to this concerto that was written by young and ambitious Chopin."
