“Passion rather than insouciance is Pires’s keynote. Here is an intensity and drama that scorn all complacent salon or drawing-room expectations. How she relishes Chopin’s central storms, creating a vivid and spectacular yet undistrionic contrast with all surrounding serenity or ’embalmed darkness’. Pires makes you hang on to every note in the coda’s curious, echoing chimes, and in tthe dolcissimo conclusion to No. 8 there’s an unforgettable sense of ‘all passion spent”, of gradually ebbing emotion. Pires with her burning clarity has reinforced our sense of Chopin’s stature and created a new range of possibilities.” – The Gramophone Magazine
