night piece.
Review of Chopin: Nocturnes by omarragi

Advantages: beautiful piano pieces.
Disadvantages: are you kidding...none!

...I play the piano freqeuntly. As a result i come across many composers. Of them all, chopin is my favourite. With his singing melodie, and wonderous chromatic passages he is easily the greatest composer, poetically. Chopin's nocturnes are among the most popular of his works, and this style is most famous for Chopin, even thought it was originally created by an Irish compose named John Field. The 3 nocturnes that make up Op.9 were written in 1830-1831 and were published in 1832, the year Chopin became succesful. These 3 pieces were dedicated to Camile Moke Pleyel, a very tallented pianist and wife of one of France's most famous piano manufactures. Op.9 No.1 is currently the most performed of all his nocturnes. Op.15 was written at about the same time as Op.9 except for Op.15 No.3. This was written in 1833. This Opus was dedicated...

The best Chopin collection and pianist
Review of Chopin: Piano Favourites by sjmog

Advantages: The most beautiful performance of a superb collection
Disadvantages: The CD has an end!

...From the second that the left hand begins the oscillating theme in the first track of Fantaisie Impromptu it is clear that Naxos have made a fantastic decision in the use of Idil Biret as the pianist for this collection. The pianist plays with more human regard for the pieces than I have ever heard from another- she is never rushed, even through the mad vivace tempo marking the Minute Waltz- even in that she plays with a beauty and subtle tone that leaves the listener glad to have partaken in the experience. The collection is superbly recorded and sourced- there is a wide variation of the Chopin favourites here, and they can all be excused their vast notereity solely as Biret's interpretations are so secure and novel. For any Chopin fan this CD takes you through all forms of his works- from the surprising anger of the Revolutionary... Read review

A female hand, a feminine composer
Review of Chopin: Nocturnes by watchpig

Advantages: Sheer luxury of tone and sonority
Disadvantages: Can we ever have enough time for such diversity?!

...Chopin from a female hand! I'd say, if you want just one set of these nocturnes you'll do no better than shop here with this lovely lady! There are so many ways to interpret Chopin no one pianist will ever get him wired 100% but here is a very good offering from Deutsche. I previously had a set by Ashkenazy and I way prefer this: less of the thundering concert pianist and more the subtlety of a chamber recital which for me is the style Chopin himself aspired to: he constantly shunned the concert platform and was best at home in Parisian salons. Still some thunder and lightning here, tho'! Probe Chopin's inner soul in his most enigmatic, restless, vital, original, diverse dynamic set of works for solo piano. Super for the student: listen before you learn, and sublime for the classical connoisseur, I think secretly even concert... Read review
