Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured during the twilight of his illustrious career, the legendary Chilean pianist offers a profound, deeply considered interpretation of the famed Polish composer's night pieces. The performances are characterized by Arrau's remarkably rich tone, deliberate pacing, and an intense emotional depth that avoids mere sentimentalism. It is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative and moving complete recordings of the Nocturnes ever captured.
