Supremely sensitive, fiery, melting, poetic and steely all at once, the Portuguese pianist Maria João Pires is an exceptional artist who holds a special place in the hearts of pianophiles the world over. Her quicksilver touch, offset by a generous lyricism, is very much at home in the music of Chopin. Her account of the <i>24 Préludes, Op. 28</i> is replete with colour, imaginative characterisation and high emotion. In the <i>Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Minor</i>, sympathetically accompanied by André Previn and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, she captures the youthful composer’s impassioned rhetoric and inspired flow of poetry.
