"I have no hesitation in declaring Maria João Pires—a pianist without a trace of narcissism—among the most eloquent master musicians of our time." (Bryce Morrison). [*Gramophone.co.uk*.](https://www.gramophone.co.uk/reviews/review?slug=chopin-nocturnes-4&ref=classicasobi.com)

 “stand aside and let the music through.”

 “I constantly heard such a wealth of inner detail being revealed from some of my favorite recordings.”

“If I wanted everything to sound good no matter what, I would have bought that old McIntosh 275 so many years ago.”

“I get my warm, lush and fuzzy feels and at the same time I hear deeper into the music than ever before. For me, that sound has become my recipe for happiness.”
