Chopin : Nocturnes (1999 remastered)

Arthur Rubinstein

Classical - Released October 19, 1999 | Sony Classical

Hi-Res Booklet
In August-September 1965 (February 1967 for Op.55 No.2) Rubinstein, then 79 years old, recorded for RCA these 19 Nocturnes here reissued — following Chopin's wishes, Rubinstein never performed or recorded the two unpublished nocturnes that fill out many recorded sets. Between effusion and restraint near-ideally balanced, and in a true, fair and alert tone, Arthur Rubinstein stands apart, in addition to his incomparable rubato, by a spontaneity and youth of heart with which he animates these pieces; bathed in light and colors, they are no longer melancholic only. (Qobuz)"The set of Nocturnes Rubinstein recorded in 1965 is unmatched: a miraculous balance of singing line, tonal luster, poetic nuance, romantic fancy and classical form." (Washington Post)"A strong, eloquent version, played without pathos" (France Musique)

Chopin : Nocturnes

Bruno Rigutto

Classical - Released September 27, 2019 | Aparté

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 5 de Diapason
Bruno Rigutto performed a new recording, matured over time, of Chopin's Nocturnes, 40 years after his first complete recording of these pieces. His long-time attendance and his poetic approach to this corpus make this new album an exciting object. This second complete recording is enriched with the sheen that only time and long-lasting imagination can give to the performance. For the French pianist, playing Chopin's music has a mysterious aura. The performer's sensitivity has to resonate with the composer's affects. The alchemy is complete, the interpreter drawing from within himself the atmospheres to create subtle nuances and phrasings. Finally, the album is the mirror of the inner life of Chopin since it follows the chronological order of composition of the Nocturnes. So this is the soundtrack to Chopin’s life that we are following as we listen. The listener discovers or rediscovers Bruno Rigutto under the nocturnal rays of romanticism, which are infused with the works of one of the most endearing composers and pianists. © Aparté

Chopin: Complete Nocturnes

Jan Lisiecki

Classical - Released August 13, 2021 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)

Hi-Res Booklet
At only 26 years of age, Jan Lisiecki already boasts an astonishingly extensive and prolific discography. So it should come as no surprise that he is releasing his eighth Deutsche Grammophon album, just one year after his last set of recordings. With Chopin's Nocturnes, the Canadian pianist returns to his beginnings as a piano player, back to simplicity.The recent lockdown period has allowed many artists to flourish in the studio, and Jan Lisiecki is among them. Recording his album last autumn in Berlin's famed Meistersaal, the pianist described how the social standstill has given him a new understanding of time, work and his relationship with music: "They were the most pleasant and relaxed recording sessions I've ever experienced; they were perfect for the Nocturnes. I was able to engage with each piece at my own pace and live with them all in a way that felt completely natural and organic."From an early age, Lisiecki found himself intrigued by the Polish composer’s work in a special way. It was the Nocturnes - especially Op.9 No.1 - that first sparked his connection with Chopin, and they remain significant to him to this day. Over 21 pieces, written by the composer between 1829 and 1847, the Canadian takes us into a world of emotions, timbres and those enchanted melodic-cantabile phrases so typical of Chopin, underpinned by rich harmonization. The genre was relatively new at the time, dedicated to the evening and the night and allowing each performer to evolve their personal emotions and creative freedom, something to which Lisiecki completely surrenders. Extremely simple, soulful and astonishingly slow, the individual nocturnes glide along the keys, almost as if the pianist were too modest to show his virtuosity, but entirely in the spirit of Chopin, who once said himself about music: "Simplicity is the final achievement." © Lena Germann/Qobuz

Chopin : Nocturnes

Fazil Say

Solo Piano - Released September 1, 2017 | Warner Classics

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 5 de Diapason - 4 étoiles Classica
Fazil Say, who made his debut on this label with a very, very well-received work on Mozart’s Complete Piano Sonatas, is now turning his attention to Chopin, but a more confidential side of Chopin, much less virtuoso, the Chopin Nocturnes, the almost complete work of which he recorded in the Mozarteum Salzburg in March 2016. An “almost complete work” because the Nocturne in C-Sharp minor Op. 71/1 is missing, most likely due to CD running time restrictions as the total exceeded the limit by just a handful of seconds… Regardless the interpretation is dazzling and almost symphonic, taking these Nocturnes out of the hyper-romantic state of torpor they are so frequently plunged in by musicians. In addition to Chopin’s music, a few of Say’s short-lived grunts can also be heard who, much like Gould (albeit to a lesser extent), sometimes enjoys humming in the background. © SM/Qobuz

Chopin : Nocturnes

Nelson Goerner

Solo Piano - Released October 6, 2017 | Alpha Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
‘Sophisticated colourist and cerebral virtuoso though he is, Nelson Goerner nevertheless brings out the moments of weakness, the hesitations, the lightning passions in the labyrinth of Chopin’, wrote Diapason on the release of the Preludes in 2015 (Diapason d’Or, Choc de Classica). ‘Serenity’, ‘balance’, ‘clarity’, ‘phrasing’ are the key words that recur in reviews of the discs and concerts of the Argentine pianist, whose fifth solo release on Alpha this is. His latest venture is a complete recording of the Nocturnes, a highpoint of Chopinesque poetry. These twenty-one miniatures accompanied Chopin over a good part of his life, for he composed them between 1827 and 1848. They are tributes to Italian bel canto, expressing reveries but also complexity of feeling and a profundity that far transcends their apparent simplicity. Nelson Goerner’s feeling for melody and tempo works wonders in these pieces, which he recorded in the ideal surroundings of the Salle de Musique of La Chaux de Fonds (Switzerland). © Alpha

Frédéric Chopin: Complete Nocturnes

Alain Planès

Classical - Released June 25, 2021 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
His Debussy and Chopin recordings for harmonia mundi already offer ample evidence that Alain Planès is highly adept at selecting a period instrument best suited for the repertoire. For this complete recording of the Chopin Nocturnes, he has chosen a superb 1836 Pleyel – dating from the same decade during which many of these masterpieces saw the light of day. With this instrument’s unique colour palette at his fingertips, our poet of the keyboard deftly recreates the delicate magic of these immortal pages in which the composer, fascinated by the art of bel canto, developed a new approach to making the piano sing. © harmonia mundi

Chopin: 4 Ballades, Polonaise Héroïque, Polonaise Fantaisie, Nocturnes, Waltzes

Jean-Paul Gasparian

Classical - Released May 17, 2019 | Evidence (LTR)

Hi-Res Booklet
In his first recording, Pianist Jean-Paul Gasparian had shown a healthy technique that is essential to play the music of Russian giants. But his strong play is also sensible. In his second disc that is now dedicated to Chopin, the young performer confirms these qualities. Especially in the four Ballads, true bravura pieces in which Jean-Paul Gasparian never fails. And if he shows rigor, he also gives himself the lyricism and beauty of these pages, from Nocturnes to Waltzes and Polonaises. His elegant expression and full sound make this new album a second essential milestone in the discography of the young pianist and more generally in that of Chopin. © Little Tribeca
