| Naxos | Born in Ireland, educated in England and adopted by Russia, John Field became one of the most famous pianists of the early 19th century. His elegance at the keyboard, and charm in his association with high society, made him an idol among the aristocracy of Europe. Though Field was not the first to compose Nocturnes, he was certainly the first to develop a musical form that was to be popularised by the great romantic composers. His last group of works came after an extended period of ill health, their mixture of delightful filigree and charming melodic invention, being framed within a mood of melancholy. |
