Chopin: Nocturnes

"Right from the first bars of the first piece, Op. 9 No. 1, it's clear that each note has been thought about - and each note's place in the bigger musical picture…Goerner's Chopin was special right from the start of his career, but it has matured into something remarkable now…Chopin's soul seems to be revealed in these warmly recorded performances." BBC Music Instrumental Choice January 2018

"Certainly, the impression left by this complete set is one of close personal engagement and a freedom that comes with long association with this music. He's beautifully recorded too…allowing a haloed sound but plenty of detail in it." Gramophone

"Goerner's way is intelligent and loving: intelligent in the clear acknowledgement of the composer's debt to Bellini in the vocal qualities of the melodies; loving in the shaping of the pieces themselves." International Piano
