Maria João Pires: Complete DG Solo Recordings
“Maria João Pires [is] among the most eloquent master-musicians of our time” (Gramophone).
“Pires with her burning clarity has reinforced our sense of Chopin’s stature"" (Gramophone)...“An artist who makes Mozart so completely her own that one no longer senses the act of interpretation” (Neue Zürcher Zeitung)...“Levels of poetic sensitivity [in Schubert] that have been matched by few” (Guardian).
“Music is a sign that miracles exist...our way of understanding the mystery of the universe...It is the mirror of that mystery” (Maria João Pires).
