got recommended this recording for Chopin's Preludes. Ingrid Fliter. Let's see how it is. She also has a Nocturnes and Waltz set, and a couple other odds and bits of Chopin pieces (ex. piano sonata no. 3, some Mazurkas, Impromptu, piano concertos).

>The five stars are just a formality--this one goes straight to the Hall of Fame. I've been collecting classical recordings for fifty years, but rarely have I been so stunned and mesmerized upon hearing a new disc. In my opinion, Ingrid Fliter has graced us with the most interesting and accomplished performance of the preludes since Moravec's 1965 classic for Connoisseur Society. I have at least two dozen recordings of these pieces and have heard them many times in concert halls. I'm frankly astonished that someone so young has developed such a wise and mature perspective on these twenty-four gems. There is not a weak performance, or for that matter even a perfunctory note, on the entire disc.

>Two major recordings of the Preludes have appeared in the past five years, and I haven't found myself returning to Ashkenazy or anyone else since their appearance. The first is the remarkable version of Alexandre Tharaud on Harmonia Mundi. He does make some interesting choices about tempi in some pieces, but these choices work -- and as a whole, he plays the pieces with effortless virtuosity, drawing out their inherent musicality.

>And then there's this release from Ingrid Fliter. I'm pretty sure this is the most perfect performance of these little jewels that I've ever heard.

high praise!
