Pires' great Chopin recording The Nocturnes is scheduled on May 2015 for double vinyl on great box package, and it is the very first time on vinyl whioch was mastered by Maarten de Boer at Emil Berliner Studios. and pressed by Pallas GmbH in Germany. 

Francisco Camino recomienda esta integral en su guía "Clásica" y dice: "Pires ha gustado mucho a los ingleses, casi tanto a los españoles, moderadamente a los alemanes y bastante menos a los franceses. Extremadamente sutil y etérea, es evidente una cierta ausencia de brío, aspecto que a muchos melómanos les parece imprescindible en el universo de Chopin. Es un enfoque personal y perfectamente válido, y si no figura entre las recomendaciones prioritarias es porque un servidor de ustedes pretende revelar las coincidencias y descartar aquellos discos que hayan sufrido más de una crítica adversa."

La Gramophone Classical Music Guide destaca esta grabación de Pires y dice:"Pasión en lugar de despreocupación es la llave maestra de Pires. Aquí entrega una pasión y un dramatismo que otros pianistas más complacientes desprecian. En esta interpretación podemos disfrutar de las tormentas centrales, creando un contraste entre la espectacularidad y una serenidad un tanto oscura..."

"Passion rather than insouciance is Pires's keynote. Here is an intensity and drama that scorn all complacent salon or drawing-room expectations. How she relishes Chopin's central storms, creating a vivid and spectacular yet undistrionic contrast with all surrounding serenity or 'embalmed darkness'. Pires makes you hang on to every note in the coda's curious, echoing chimes, and in tthe dolcissimo conclusion to No. 8 there's an unforgettable sense of 'all passion spent'', of gradually ebbing emotion. Pires with her burning clarity has reinforced our sense of Chopin's stature and created a new range of possibilities." - The Gramophone Magazine
