“Finally transferred to DVD, Humphrey Burton's beautiful filming from 1987 of the 3-year-old Krystian Zimerman has a wonderfully timeless quality. The playing is a marvel of finely balanced sensitivity, fire and colour.” (Music Magazine)
“Zimerman's approach to playing the piano has greatness written all over it. It has intensity, majesty, intimacy, daring, and simplicity, and above all insight.” (The Times)
