After Debussy and Schumann, Nelson Goerner comes back to the composer who revealed him to the great audience of recorded music: Chopin. His first Chopin recordings won him high praise and countless distinctions (3 Diapasons d’Or!): "Everything he touches seems "right" "wrote Gramophone in a recent issue.
Nicknamed ‘the great poet of the piano’, he now attacks Chopin’s 24 Préludes, which he chose to record live, in a single go, in Poland where he is particularly appreciated and considered an essential pillar of the Chopin Institute.
As a complement, Nelson Goerner opts for the Barcarolle Op. 60, the Polonaise Op. 44 and the Berceuse op.57.

"...Every one of his [Goerner] releases has been a revelation on its own terms, and his rock-solid muscianship never fails to impress..." ***** (Essential)

"...Nelson Goerner makes the prodigious, epigrammatic set as captivating as ever - or even more so, so deft is he, notably in those three magical numbers markes vivace: a spume of inspiration."
Paul Driver - The Sunday Times (Culture magazine) - 31 January 2016
"... a disc that can only solidify Goerner’s reputation as one of the outstanding Chopin exponents of his generation as Goerner nears the fll blossom of his maturity, his interpretaions are never less than original, deeply considered and filled with characteristic detail. That they also exhibit rare qualities of wisdom and discernment make him someone to return to, again and again."
