not since Vladimir Ashkenazy’s classic 1964 set for Decca have Chopin’s Ballades sounded so emotionally rich and imposing as they do here.
November 2006
Tiberghien's Chopin is not short of poetic sensibility, opting for the emotional reserve and narrow dynamic range that the composer himself adopted. The Brahms is thoroughly convincing, the murderous tale depicted in No 1 ("Edward") chillingly recreated, No 3 (Intermezzo) beautifully voiced with genuinely produced, hardly audible responses to Brahms's ppp markings.
The Independent on Sunday
Thankfully, he is more than a pair of cheekbones, and brings intelligence and delicacy to this disc of Ballades.
