Polish Radio 2 wrote: “I had been waiting for such a performance since the beginning of the Competition. He is every inch the artist, an extraordinarily mature musician who focuses on the beauty of Chopin’s works, which he performs with a high degree of consciousness. He is one of the few who can find a wise balance between the spirit of Chopin and his own individuality, which he demonstrated, for instance, in his masterful interpretation of the Ballade in A flat major.” TRACK LIST: Disc 01 01.
