"It's easy to understand why Pollini should have been drawn back to these late pieces, with their harmonic daring and structural subtleties. He gives a fascinating account of the Barcarolle, austere and detached, but also intensely focused ... For all its passing beauties, there's a sense throughout the disc that he's more concerned with what he is still discovering in the music than in communicating to a larger audience; it often tells us more about him than it does about Chopin"
