Description

The Nocturnes of Frederic Chopin are among the most beloved works in the piano repertoire, twenty-one pieces that elevated a salon genre into profound personal expression. This recording by Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki, released on Deutsche Grammophon, presents the complete nocturnes in performances of remarkable maturity and poetic sensitivity.

Lisiecki brings a singing tone and delicate touch to these works, finding both intimacy and emotional depth. The Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, No. 2 is the most famous of the set, its flowing melody one of Chopin's most recognisable creations. The later nocturnes, particularly the Nocturne in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 1 and the Nocturne in B major, Op. 62, No. 1, reveal a more complex and harmonically adventurous composer. This Deutsche Grammophon edition presents all twenty-one nocturnes across two LPs.
