Chopin recital

"A recording unveiling a rare presence. As if Chopin himself inhabited him, Jean Muller gives us an eminently romantic interpretation, full of emotion where the darkest restraint alternates with the most virtuoso ecstasy. Remarkable piano playing captured with remarkable sonic quality." L'Education Musicale "Heard here in mostly familiar Chopin, Muller makes everything enthrallingly fresh and unfamiliar. Indeed, you seem be hearing the Four Ballades for the first time, such is the pianist's recreative urgency. Here is a pianist who can pin you back by the ears with heroic strength and propulsion but who is no less subtle and insinuating when Chopin is lost in reverie and introspection. Can any lover of Chopin's music – or of anyone else's – afford to be without this disc? " Gramophone
