Tender, impassioned, tinged with sadness and melancholy, Chopin’s nocturnes are moments of pure magic, pouring forth an inner life full of infinite dreams and surges of emotion. Their lyricism was born of the art of bel canto which Chopin loved so much: “you must sing if you want to play the piano”, he used to say. Pérez' recent record dedicated to Soler, also released with Mirare, has been considered ‘Exceptional Record’ by Scherzo magazine (Spain) and has been awarded a Choc du Disc by the French Classica magazine.
