About "Scherzo No. 2 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 31 : Chopin: Scherzo No. 2 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 31: Presto - Sostenuto" by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli

Michelangeli's Scherzo No. 2 is a storm wrapped in velvet—presto passages that dart like swallows, then a sostenuto chorale that feels like a sudden hush in a crowded room. The tension between flight and stillness is almost unbearable, and utterly thrilling.
