‘This invaluable reissue of discs dating from 1952-53 is a reminder of Jorge Bolet's early stature. The first-ever recording of Prokofiev's malignant, ferociously demanding Second Concerto is of so much more than documentary interest … nothing can dim one's sense of Bolet's massive and unswerving authority, a quality at once lyrical and magisterial … a true aristocrat of the keyboard, his warmth and humanity strike you at every turn’ (Gramophone)
