Excelente aportación de Piano Clásicos, sabía del autor por los libros de historia de la música pero no había escuchado sus obras. Sólo sabía que algunos le consideran el padre del nocturno, a un pianista y compositor irlandés, y de su gran influencia en compositores como Chopin. Muchas gracias. Es una grabación interesante y bella.

Composers: John Field
These are way more calming and true to the concept of "nocturne" than Chopin's, imho.
Artist: Tyler Hay (piano)
As the pre-eminent forerunners to Chopin’s works in the same genres, the Nocturnes of John Field have few rivals for music well known by history but so seldom heard. They were largely inspired by the slow movements of Classical concertos, Mozart above all, as well as opera arias. From them, Field evolved his own firm concept of a form with rich harmonies and gentle dynamics to suggest the night and dreaming, though in fact he began by giving these pieces traditional names such as Pastorale, Serenade and "Romance. He wrote the 18 works not as a set, but over the course of 15 years, rarely completing more than one and never more than three in a single year. Liszt observed in them ‘The total absence of everything that looks to effect'.
At last, someone with a sense of style, with expression!
Even when he settled upon Nocturne, Field bestowed upon some of them a qualifying subtitle: ‘Cradle Song’ (No.6), ‘Reverie’ (No.7), ‘Song Without Words’ (No.13), ’Nocturne Pastorale’ (No.17), and ‘Nocturne charactéristique Midi’ (No.18). This last Nocturne stands apart from its companions as a tribute to midday, cast as an Allegro, with a coda in which a chiming clock strikes twelve as quicker notes laugh and dance around the repeated note.
As a window on the salons of 19th century Europe, the Nocturnes are taxing neither to play nor to listen to, but they are polished with painstaking finesse, and they demand from the performer all the subtle pianistic guile of Chopin’s works: notably a command of rubato to shape the melodies, and the imaginative and technical capacities of a coloristic palette to bring variety without eccentricity to the sequence.
Chopin took a lot from the first nocturne.
Tyler Hay can call upon such talents and skills as critics have recognised in his previous recordings for Piano Classics such as an album devoted to the music of John Ogdon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al8tQrkt3pU) ‘Tyler Hay is a formidable pianist… I believe John Ogdon would be very pleased by these performances of his music’ (Fanfare). ‘The young pianist Tyler Hay has brilliantly mastered and assimilated these often elusive scores, even to the point where I heretically prefer his interpretations to Ogdon’s’ (Gramophone).

Hoy asociamos los "nocturnos" a la figura de Chopin, pero los inventó John Field, aunque no los denominó nocturnos sino que les dio nombres tradicionales como "pastorale"
0:42:12 Nocturne No. 11 in E-Flat Major, H 56
0:47:07 Nocturne No. 12 in G Major, H 58D
Fue brutalmente explotado por Muzio Clementi, que tenía una fábrica de pianos en Inglaterra. Clementi ponía al niño Field a tocar sus pianos en una vitrina y no lo vestía ni lo alimentaba, no obstante cobraba al padre de John por su educación. Novelesca vid la de John, triunfó en Rusia, donde se desquitó del hambre a que lo sometiera Clementi, se desquitó a tal punto que comía como un Pantagruel y le costaba entrar por la puerta del tren que lo llevaba en gira.

wow, how beautiful! Unpopular opinion maybe: to me Field is like Chopin but with less sugar, so easier and tastier to the ear. I mean, I do like Chopin of course, but these nocturnes are something.

@RosCharronWunderschöne und detaillierte Interpretation dieser achtzehn frühromantischen und fein komponierten Tastenwerke im gut betrachteten Tempo mit klarem doch elegantem Klang des technisch perfekten Klaviers und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich intelligenter und genialer Pianist.

Uma Jóia para quem, como eu, admira as obras pianísticas clássicas e românticas!
Gratíssimo pela postagem!
Field's nocturnes "were largely inspired by the slow movements of Classical concertos, Mozart above all..." Exactly, almost. When I was very keen on Chopin's nocturnes, I sought out more music in this mood. Turns out that if you extract all the slow movements of Mozart's piano sonatas that have the word "adagio" or "andante," you obtain a whole new set of 18 nocturnes. Go through each of the 18 sonatas, select out the one movement that has the word adagio or andante, and you get a collection of nocturnes. As I recall, the one exception is Sonata No 6, where the second movement "Rondeau en polonaise (Andante)" seems closer to a nocturne than the third movement "Andante." I'm not knocking the Mozart concertos, but, for one thing, the concertos are not solo piano.
@knzw25Wonderful ❤
