"[Pires'] musicianship is (as we have come to expect) wonderfully natural, with a voice of eloquent directness and purity. Her stance, too, is perfectly judged: she is inside the music, portraying it with love and affection, yet without any trace of narcissism. Nevertheless, while her innate stylishness and the beauty of her sound should never be taken for granted, she doesn’t always capture the youthful fervour of early Chopin.
Pires’s approach to the concerto is ardently lyrical, giving her spacious sense of rubato and radiant singing tone the greatest expressive freedom. If the piano’s first entry hardly grabs your attention, Pires’s wonderfully pliable phrasing and bell-like sonority soon win you over."
