CD ReviewsHighly recommended for a number of tracks ronaldbrian | Quezon City, Philippines | 02/08/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "This recording is highly recommended for the following performances: of the opus 15 no. 2 nocturne (track 3), opus 32 no. 1 (track 6), opus 37 no. 2 (track 8), and opus 55 no. 1 (track 11). Barenboim's deeply inspired phrasing in the opus 37 nocturne is exquisite--well worth the price of the cd. His insight into Chopin in this nocturne is both generous and intimate. The performance is hypnotic, that of a visionary pianist clearly at one with the composer's intent. However, for the Opus 15 no. 1 nocturne I'd still go for Martha Argerich's legendary 1965 recording (EMI Classics). As for the Opus 48 nocturnes (Nos. 1 and 2, Lento and Andantino respectively), no pianist has ever matched Artur Rubinstein's intuitions with these two; he practically owns them."
