This is Volume 2 in our series of solo piano works by Chopin, played by the French-Canadian pianist Louis Lortie.
"throughout his recital you will hear playing of the most patrician poise, fluidity and tonal finesse...In the Op. 9 E flat Nocturne, his rubato has all the delicacy and fragrance of a born Chopin pianist, a subtle give and take and musical breathing. His way with the Berceuse in particular is a marvel of iridescence, unruffled technique and musicianship."
(Gramophone)
"an understated view of the composer, yet one that is fully cultivated and always convincing...not that Lortie is afraid of big expression, or lacking in virtuosity: his elegant playing always gets to the heart of the matter...a highly satisfying recital."
(BBC Music)
