"Everything is marvellously executed, each detail is defined with absolute clarity"
Max Harrison, Gramophone, November 1984

"Gänzlich außerhalb der derzeit von Rubinstein beherrschten Chopin-Szenerie steht der Italiener Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, dessen unerhört differenziertes und sensibles Spiel Chopins Musik zugleich versinnlicht und intellektualisiert."
Ulrich Schreiber, Schallplatten-Jahrbuch, 1973

"Michelangeli ne joue pas, il sculpte : pas un effet, pas une faiblesse, un jeu "total" qui intimide d'abord, agace peut-être par ce refus de vous faciliter la tâche, pour fasciner, hypnotiser ensuite. [...] Une interprétation géniale." (Ballade no.1, Indispensable)
