Repertoire which has been central to the lives of most pianists for over a hundred and fifty years will always present a formidable challenge; happily, Cédric Tiberghien's account of some of Chopin's greatest and most popular works need fear nothing by way of comparison to the famous recordings of the past.
'In an age awash with soulless automata masquerading as pianists, violinists and the like, it is always a pleasure to listen to Cédric Tiberghien … the recital ends with a wonderfully quixotic account of the Op 31 Scherzo that Moriz Rosenthal would surely have been at ease with, which is all you can ask for' (Audiophile)

RECORDING 5 Stars
'The final Preludes also stand out, especially in No 21, where Tiberghien runs the emotional gamut, evoking memories of Alfred Cortot in his prime … Tiberghien's Op 28 thoroughly holds its own alongside readings by other like-minded individualists' (Classics Today)
'A Chopin player of real class … Tiberghien's Second Sonata is impressive … the final two movements are particularly fine … this disc as a whole is a potent new addition to the Chopin library' (Gramophone)
Tracks:
Preludes (24), Op. 28
Piano Sonata No. 2
Scherzo No. 2
