John Field: Sonatas & Nocturnes
John O’Conor Telarc (1992) I’ve long been a fan of Field’s nocturnes, who is often credited as the inventor of the nocturne. Fellow Irishman John O’Conor (under-appreciated, I think) plays them beautifully on this recording.

Tony, you've posted Field before. I'm listening now. Qobuz shows another cover: No booklet included, but I guess it's the same album. Nice, calm pieces. I'm going to listen to more of O'Conor's albums. I like his touch.

That’s a nice album as well, but a different one. The one I posted this morning is sonatas 1-4 and 3 nocturnes, the one you’re playing is all nocturnes and one of my favorites.

The last years, Kuijken plays these pieces on a violoncello da spalla that sounds a little bit smoother. He played 2 of the Suites (and a violin Partita) in our living room in '17. I made a video of it, but didn't use an external microphone unfortunately.

What Classical Music Are You Listening To Tonight?
The Long 17th Century: A Cornucopia of Early Keyboard Music
Daniel-Ben Pienaar, piano Avie Records (2020), via Qobuz From ClassicsToday.com: “For this remarkable two-disc collection, Daniel-Ben Pienaar has chosen 36 17th-century keyboard works, each by a different composer. He brilliantly reveals how a piano’s dynamic scope, timbral diversity, and sustaining capabilities can vividly and meaningfully serve this repertoire.” This may not be for the HIP purist, but I found it very enjoyable.
