"I can do nothing except to genuflecting, --i.e, about that no words can suffer. One needonly listen and genuflect. Because of the delicate& tender light made by the maestro -who was capable of obtaining at the piano the sound he wanted- , the encounter with this interpretation is a miraculous experience by all means."

Good but not exellent.

"This CD is a digital remastering of a recital that Michelangeli gave in Turin. For the sound isn't the traditional on a typical CD, but it can pass. The pieces that Michelangeli offers in this record are from the piano traditional repertoire. All the classical music fans know this pieces and everybody is agree that they are marvellous. But I think that Michelangeli can do a better interpretation that this one. I'm agree that lots of pianists, who belongs to a lower category in this little world, do worse versions than this one. But people in the selected few (and Michelangeli belongs to the selected few of the piano) like Zimmerman or Argerich take a beautiful sound to the piano, this sound that Chopin wants and Michelangeli doesn't offer. Although, Michelangeli does a correct version, but not the version that I would like when I listened his glorious version of the Images and the Children's corner of Debussy.I only recomended this record to the fans of Michelangeli."
