Frédéric Chopin / Piano Concertos / Janina Fialkowska

 

 “She exaggerates nothing. Her playing is notable for its balance, its sense of proportion and naturalness...

The approach is robustly classical, and effortlessly demonstrates that size in music is not necessarily measured in loudness or duration...

Not that Fialkowska lacks power. Far from it. But like Chopin himself she never forces the sound... Earthy, vital performances”
