[Fialkowska’s] playing was prized by Artur Rubinstein, the ultimate authority in Chopin playing. Listening to her in Schubert, one can see what he loved about her art…the Impromptus D935 [are given] as lovely and radiant an account as I have ever heard…it’s well worth getting this disc for them alone, indeed imperative for a lover of them.

[Fialkowska’s] is a quiet kind of pianism that doesn’t shout ‘look at me’ yet yields more rewards than many more interventionist players. The slow movement, for instance, has less rhetorical freedom than Barenboim’s but to these ears is all the more effective for it…Fialkowska lets the music speak for itself, and that brings its own rewards
