John Field's Complete Nocturnes Performed by Alice Sara Ott on 180g 2LP.
Profound musicianship, dazzling technical brilliance and emotional honesty have helped Alice Sara Ott establish her place among the world's leading classical performers.
On her 2025 album John Field: Complete Nocturnes, Alice dedicates herself to the compositions of John Field: "Engaging with these Nocturnes was a deeply rewarding experience. Their beauty and grace affected me profoundly and enriched my life while I was preparing for this recording."
Highly praised by his contemporaries (Chopin, Liszt, Schumann), John Field's Nocturnes are largely unknown today.
"I hope that this complete recording of the Nocturnes – the first to find a place for itself in the Deutsche Grammophon catalogue – may perhaps inspire the occasional listener to discover Field's music for themselves. Here, after all, is the man who bequeathed the Nocturne to posterity."
