Well: it's a known fact that Maria Joao Pires is a GREAT artist !

But in addition to this, I would say her Preludes by Chopin need to be heard before writing anything else !

A blend of delicacy and power ( when needed ) make this record invaluable...and I know several other versions !

But this one is a must...if you act quickly, as normally this Cd is already out of Print !

Good luck.

Fire and Ice 7 Jan 2002
By Jacek Walinski - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Issued in 1994, this recording predates by two years her famous performance of Chopin's Nocturnes, but is equally rewarding. Both Concerto in F minor and 24 Preludes op.28 feature the highest pianistic eloquence and in her interpretation are fabulously sensitive, lyrical, dreamy, and full of passion. This is Chopin with perception of tenderness and drama of human existence. The recording is crystal clear. The CD won the "Grand Prix du Disque Frédéric Chopin" Warsaw Competition in 1995.

As If Chopin Were Playing Himself 15 Nov 2005
By Tigua A. Naghel - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This performance of Pires is absolutely stunning. Her expressionism is romanticism personified in every bar. The second piano concerto, in particular, is worthy alone of such praise for Pires plays as if she were channeling Chopin himself. Not merely is the composer reborn in this performance but one gains a sense of the entire romantic movement itself. Specifically, there is a lilting unease and a daunting sense of the vague as if Pires were approaching the listener with a kiss only to draw away at the most magnificent moment of the soul's awakening. A novice to classical music may not percieve the sublte nuances of romanticism's overtones and undertones. For this reason, the preludes may sound "boring." I have to admit I don't even like them. But the orchestral flavor of the concerto is cosmopolitan enough, and the theme simple enough, that most anyone can appreciate this beautiful recording.

Great Performance 30 April 2011
By Hans Heller - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love her playing and I am enjoying tremendously her Chopin Preludes. Probably this is my favorite recording of Ms. Pires, although I just discovered a another great CD release by Giorgi Latsabidze - playing Chopin 24 preludes. Highly recommended both artists!!!
