• For his eighth and latest Deutsche Grammophon album, Canadian pianist extraordinaire Jan Lisiecki has chosen to return to the music of Frdric Chopin. Following on from Works for Piano & Orchestra (2017) and Chopin: tudes (2013), Chopin: Complete Nocturnes features profoundly personal interpretations of some of the most beautiful and best-loved pieces ever written for solo piano.

  Lisiecki is perhaps most celebrated for his masterfully sensitive and refined interpretative approach. His newest release recorded last October at Berlins historic Meistersaal not only captures the spirit of Chopins pianism, but also represents the time and circumstances in which it was made, as the pianist himself explains: Im the first to question why we should record something that has been recorded many times before. But music only lives through performance and is different every time we hear it, even when its a recording. I think there was something for me to say with this album. It reflects on the last year and my thoughts on that as well as on the escape and understanding that music gives us.
