This fourth volume of Louis Lorties acclaimed Chopin series perfectly illustrates the elevation of the waltz to a musical art, from danses de salon to works with proper opus numbers. The nocturnes also trace their origins to the salon, the genre deriving from a type of vocal music highly popular among amateurs as an opportunity for singing duets. Attracting critical acclaim throughout Europe, Asia, and the US, French-Canadian pianist Louis Lortie has made more than 30 recordings for Chandos label. With this series, Mr. Lortie has made his reputation as a model Chopinist (BBC Music).
