Chopin: Waltz No. 8 in A flat major, Op. 64 No. 3

“‘Fliter is very much her own person, with essential sparks of individual imagination that show a fertile mind as well as a phenomenal technique at work … In the second half came a Chopin group that was simply spellbinding. The music seemed to flow from her with an utterly natural lyrical impulse, graced with power, luminous delicacy and a spectrum of tonal colouring that combined to mark her out as one of the most instinctive and eloquent Chopin interpreters playing today’” Daily Telegraph

“…her playing is now enriched immeasurably by a poetic depth and subtle expressive imagination.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 ****

“All these performances suggest a fastidious musical intelligence with an immaculate technique…Harmonia Mundi’s sound is as crystalline as the playing, and these scrupulously modern and sensitive performances are among the finest available.” Gramophone

Each waltz is treated with the same care that a piano sonata might deserve and the effect is magical: this is true poetry - James Jolly, Gramophone 1000th issue

"melting and fluent...utterly natural" The Independent

“Have you ever imagined what Chopin might sound like when played in the style of Glenn Gould's Bach? Well, here's your chance to find out! Eugéne Mursky's highly analytical, compulsively detailed performances X-ray the works down to their linear skeletons, uncovering inner voices and hidden melodies within flurries of passagework that even Josef Hofmann and Shura Cherkassky couldn't divine. Forget about narrative sweep, rhythmic life, heartfelt lyricism, and any other characteristics that characterize "normal" Chopin playing.” Classics Today
