"There is plenty of evidence here of Arrau’s brilliant technique. His Chopin has exceptional textural clarity as well as warmth. He makes each piece wholly and uniquely his own often with a very personal recourse to rubato. I have rarely heard a more intimately inflected reading of the three Nouvelles Études."
(The Gramophone)
Diapason d’Or, France

These recordings date from 1956, when Claudio Arrau was at the peak of his powers.

The playing ideally combines absolute technical authority and poetic inwardness.

The final item, the Allegro de concert (dubbed Chopin’s Third Concerto), makes a novel and extravagant encore.
