Notes and Editorial Reviews
"...[H]er way with the 24 Preludes achieves a storm of contradictions. Mood follows mood, flashing and alternating like the play of the elements themselves. Nos. 18 and 22 show her at her most precipitate, while No. 16 is all brilliant fury. You may question her way with the climax of the elegiac No. 4 (does Chopin's stretto really signify such a sudden squall?) or a touch of recklessness in No. 3 (where a gentle April shower becomes a torrential downpour) yet her overall response could hardly be more vivid. Her fitful rubato adds a touch of neurosis to the cloudy and disconsolate progressions of Op. 45..." -- Bryce Morrison, Gramophone [10/1997, reviewing DG 453566]

"The Preludes show Martha Argerich at her finest, spontaneous and inspirational... [H]er instinct is sure, with many poetic individual touches..." -- The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs & DVDs [2003/4 edition, reviewing DG 463663]
