This is by no means a uniformly brilliant recording, but there are some standout moments I wish to highlight

-Easily the best part is the EXCEPTIONALLY clear op 25 no 2. It could do with a little more spontaneous spirit, but I've never heard so much attention to every note from another pianist.

-The stunning reticence of Op 10 no 9, like someone struggling to stay aloof, discreet.

-The distinctly clear Op 10 no 5.
