One of the classics of the gramophone ever since their first release in the 1970s, these recordings are now available at mid-price.

"I could listen to this forever. When it was new, nearly 15 years ago, I described it as the strongest, most colourful, most musical and most poetic Debussy you ever heard from a pianist. I don't feel much cooler about it now... Here is a powerful musical personality taking possession of the music and projecting it on a big scale, as great concert artists do. [...] If you're interested in examining the nature of small miracles, it's instructive to study the copy of the first two pieces in the second book of Images - 'Cloches a travers les feuilles' and 'Et la lune descend sur le temple qui fut' - and to note the beauties which result from a master pianist's control of different planes of sound. This is the sort of 'technique' most people never notice." - Gramophone , July 1986, reviewing the Images.

"It goes without saying that Michelangeli's account reveals the highest pianistic distinction. It is in many ways a wholly compelling and masterful reading of these miniature tone poems, with hardly a note or dynamic out of place, and it can be confidently recommended." - Penguin Guide (1982), reviewing the Preludes.

"Michelangeli subjects each note to the last refinements of shading and places it with hairsbreadth precision. All 12 performances are outstanding, but 'Voiles' should be noted as a remarkable instance of this pianist's ability to project the several strands of a texture at different degrees of poetic intensity." - Gramophone , November 1984, reviewing the Preludes.
