I am also traditional in how I listen to and present music.
I’m the type of person who likes sending out postcards written in fountain pen, who uses a landline phone with a rotary dial. In recordings, the complete nocturnes are usually presented in chronological order. To play them in front of people - to break that private bubble - has been the challenge. The nocturnes make me feel like I’m at home at night and I have an emotion I want to express they’re pieces I play for myself. I have been scheduling many of them in my recitals to get that experience of communicating them. They’re not technically difficult - you can approach them from an early age - but it is very difficult to make them sound good.
I had dreamed of recording them for quite a while, but I knew that to do it well I would have to play them in concert first, to get the right emotion. How did you prepare for this new album of the nocturnes?
