Chopin: The Complete Nocturnes And Impromptus
Release Date: 1997-08-12
Sales rank: 4226
Claudio Arrau considered the Nocturnes among Chopin's deepest, most searching works, rather than mere descriptive mood paintings, and he plays them that way. The same can be said vis-à-vis Arrau's Impromptus, with brooding textures and cosmic breadth that leave the drawing room behind. --Jed Distler |
