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 : 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

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: Nocturnes

Daniel Barenboim

Classical - Released January 1, 1982 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)

This package of Frédéric Chopin's nocturnes was issued as the fourth volume in Deutsche Grammophon's complete edition of his works, a large box set that was released in 1999 on the 150th anniversary of the composer's death. However, pianist Daniel Barenboim originally recorded the performances in 1981, and there have been several reissues, as a whole set on two discs or as selections on a single CD. These reflective character pieces are handled with finesse and poetic expression by Barenboim, who usually plays such subtle Romantic music with great restraint, thoughtfulness, and refinement, and seldom lets its passions get away from his control. To the extent that Barenboim plays with a delicate touch and Deutsche Grammophon's wide audio range allows for many nuances, there may be some concern whether the volume of the recording will need adjustment because a soft level makes the piano seem too faint, while a recommended middle setting yields a more credible presence. Still, at whatever level of playback, this is a tasteful and polished rendition, and judging from Chopin's own preferences in playing the nocturnes, it seems rather close in spirit.© TiVo

Chopin: Nocturnes - Complete

Ivan Moravec

Classical - Released June 25, 1991 | Nonesuch

Ivan Moravec was incapable of playing a note, any note, that was anything less than beautiful -- not just superficially beautiful but truly beautiful, bone deep, soul deep, "truth is beauty and beauty truth" beautiful. And when he strings each note, each lustrous pearl of a note, into phrases which sing and sigh and cry, each phrase becomes more beautiful even than each individual note. And when each phrase is joined in bliss with harmony, and then form, and then into a single luminous whole, then each work becomes an act of love and, not incidentally, as perfect a recording of a Chopin Nocturne as we are likely to hear in this world or the next.Seriously! Try the Opus 27 twins, the C sharp minor and the D flat major. Under Moravec's hands, the C sharp minor starts tenderly, almost tentatively, grows agitated, dances at its climax, collapses into a wonderful cadenza, and resigns itself to the now shattered opening. Listen to the way Moravec phrases the opening, to the way he builds the climax, to the way he measures out the cadenza: no one has ever done it better. Under Moravec's hands, the D flat major calms the troubled waters and brings balm to the weary. Listen to the way Moravec floats the right hand's melody over the gentle swells of the left hand's accompaniment. No one has ever done it better.This disc is urgently recommended to piano lovers, Chopin lovers, and Romantic lovers in both senses of the word.© TiVo

Nocturnes

Yundi Li

Classical - Released March 15, 2010 | Warner Classics

Chinese pianist Yundi Li has not only switched his label from Deutsche Grammophon to EMI, but he has changed his name and become simply Yundi. He has not changed his favorite composer; three of his six DG discs featured Chopin's music and this two-disc set contains all the Polish Romantic's nocturnes, and he has not changed his modus operandi of super virtuosity coupled with poetic sensitivity. This should be an unbeatable combination in Chopin, and in many ways, it is. Yundi's impeccable technique, pearly tone, and sculpted phrasing suit the music down to the ground, and the sheer sensual beauty of his performances is astounding. Unfortunately, on EMI as earlier on DG, it is Yundi's poetic sensitivity that gets him into trouble. While his performances clearly trace the rise and fall of heartfelt emotions, one gets the unsettling sense that those emotions are Yundi's and not Chopin's. To a certain extent, all performers project their own emotions in performing Romantic music, but here, Chopin's music seems less like a medium through which the pianist expresses himself and more like a mirror in which the pianist admires himself. The beauty of Yundi's playing will be enough, or even more than enough for some listeners. EMI's digital sound is warmer and deeper than DG's, though not nearly as clean and crisp.© TiVo
