Frédéric Chopin

"Vurdering: Cd der Woche" - " Obwohl die Mehrzahl der Stücke auf dieser CD in Moll steht, vermittelt Chopins Musik bei Sophie Pacini eher Kraft denn Melancholie. Passend zu dieser sehr energiegeladenen Interpretation ist Sophie Pacini ein feinfühlig geführtes Pedal und die freie, flexible Behandlung der Tempi wichtig".

"There is a lot of very slow playing here, as if that is the one and only key to profundity but the great danger is of profound becoming plain ... The nocturnes go best, beautifully rendered even if they feel slightly precious. Koroliov's tone is consistently pretty and the piano almost glows ... Evgeni Koroliov's skills as a pianist are not in question; his Chopin is a collection of beautiful, dead things".
