It needed the genius of Chopin to perfect the genre to the highest artistic level: Chopin's Nocturnes are the archetypes of romantic piano music, and count among his best loved works. Among the contemporaries we hear beautiful specimens of Kalkbrenner, Pleyel, Alkan and others.-Played on fortepianos from the time of composition like Broadwood, Pleyel and Érard pianos by expert Bart van Oort, who draws unexpected colours from these wonderful instruments, thus bringing us back to the salons of the 19th century
