This second album in Cédric Tiberghien's highly praised survey reveals the radicalism of Bartók's piano-writing to be just as evident in the early Bagatelles as it is in the lexicon of style and technique which is the fth book of Mikrokosmos.

"Magic moments are plentiful...One feels the weight of Tiberghien's thought in every phrase, yet the sense of easy flow is paramount." (Sunday Times)

"it's a measure of the quality of Cédric Tiberghien's series that it promises to rival Kocsis's set when complete...Tiberghien catches the essence of each piece instantly, and brings to all of them a sense of freshness and discovery, as well as the ability to combine expressive freedom with rhythmic precision in a remarkable way." The Guardian Five Stars

"Intimate and poetic, this pianism which delicately suggests rather than making statements. A lovely hour and a quarter." (BBC Music)

'Pavel Kolesnikov, the young Russian pianist championed by Maria João Pires, cultivates a warmly expressive sound, which is the foundation of his playing … [he] gives us a Chopin very much his own' (Financial Times)

'[Pavel Kolesnikov] displays complete poetic freedom of a sort ideal for approaching Chopin's mazurkas … a refreshing way of letting us hear these well-known miniature masterpieces, this is a notable addition to the huge Chopin discography' (BBC Music Magazine Five Stars)
