5 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece !! - The best Nocturnes in 150 years!.......2005-11-13

This collection is a masterpiece on it's own!
What we listen is Loussier impressions on Chopin's nocturnes, not the nocturnes themselves. Great! It's just the thing LISZT would like to compose, since he loved to discuss at the piano through paraphrases on other composers. Some of them are so amazing that we could easily consider them a new masterpiece since Chopin.

This is really what I call creativity. By listening to these miniatures, we finally understand what creativity means. I ofter have some points against some of the pieces Loussier plays with Trio, but after listen carefully to these pieces , I have to say this man has moments of geniality.

One of the most interesting to my taste if what he did with Chopin's nocturne Op 55 # 2. Incredible. I cannot guess what Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, or even Herbie Hancock could made it better. Amazing!

Buy it! You don't know what you're missing!
And, please, Mr. Loussier, do record more Solo Piano. By listening to the Nocturnes, I'd like to hear the Waltzes, Scherzos, Impromptus, Polonaises, etc...you have discovered a brand new world!

3 out of 5 stars Lloyal fan, but disappointed.......2005-05-22

Being familiar with Loussier group handling of classics, I looked forward to his Chopin interpretations. But he really needs a rhythm group behind him to put it across. His pure solo work just doesn't make with me.
