Title: Perfect Nocturnes
Review: Okay, we've all heard Chopin played by about a million different perfomers. Simon's playing is simply the best. Period. Then look at the budget price. There is no need to waste your money on any other set of Chopin's Nocturnes (and there are some fine ones, admittedly).Simon is emotionally involved with every note of these pieces, yet he avoids the the temptation of hamming it up with lavish excesses of sentimentality. Neither does he subscribe to the robotic sewing-machine school of piano playing ala Horowitz.The sound is clean and warm, just like the playing. The collection is complete, including the posthumous Nocturnes not included in some editions.Buy this CD and study it well, for this is how Chopin should be played.
