Canadian pianist extraordinaire Jan Lisiecki returns to the music of Chopin

For his eighth and latest Deutsche Grammophon album, Canadian pianist extraordinaire Jan Lisiecki has chosen to return to the music of Frédéric Chopin. Chopin: Complete Nocturnes features profoundly personal interpretations of some of the most beautiful and best-loved pieces ever written for solo piano.

“I’m the first to question why we should record something that has been recorded many times before. But music only lives through performance and is different every time we hear it, even when it’s a recording. I think there was something for me to say with this album. It reflects on the last year and my thoughts on that as well as on the escape and understanding that music gives us.” Explains Lisiecki.

The album released today, 13 August 2021, is available on CD and to download and stream, including in the new high-quality spatial listening experience of Dolby Atmos on Apple Music.
