Info for Field: Complete Nocturnes

American pianist Elizabeth Joy Roe follows-up her breath-taking Decca debut with an album showcasing the Father of the Nocturne. These half-formed sighs floating through the air, softly lamenting and dissolved in delicious melancholy Franz Liszt on John Fields Nocturnes.

Following her critically acclaimed coupling of the Britten & Barber Piano Concertos with the London Symphony Orchestra, Elizabeth Joy Roe enlightens the extraordinary world of John Field.

John Field has been called the Father of the Nocturne, creating the form which Chopin perfected, but thus relegated to a footnote in musical history. In fact he was held in high regard by his contemporaries: a student of Clementi, he knew Haydn, Hummel, Czerny and Mendelssohn, was championed by Liszt and an acknowledged influence on Chopin, Brahms and Schumann.

This is the first recording of John Fields complete Nocturnes on Universal.

„Well done to Elizabeth Joy Roe for championing the piece [Barber]; she should win it many friends . . . Britten's Nocturne is rather breath-taking and, surprisingly, reminds of Chopin. It invites many listens.“ (Classical Source)

„Roe brings an incisive and well-articulated touch to the ebullient first movement of the Britten . . . Her treatment of the Impromptu is lyrical and tender“ (BBC Music Magazine)

„Roe's pinpoint playing allows the elegiac slow movement to speak with a cool-headed intimacy.“ (Gramophone)
