Elizabeth Joy Roe:

John Field: Complete Nocturnes

Following her critically acclaimed coupling of the Britten & Barber Piano Concertos with the London Symphony Orchestra, Elizabeth Joy Roe enlightens the extraordinary world of John Field. John Field has been called the ‘Father of the Nocturne', creating the form which Chopin perfected, but thus relegated to a footnote in musical history. In fact, he was held in high regard by his contemporaries: a student of Clementi, he knew Haydn, Hummel, Czerny and Mendelssohn, was championed by Liszt and an acknowledged influence on Chopin, Brahms and Schumann. Roe brings all 18 Nocturnes together for the first time on a single album.

Elizabeth Joy Roe:

Britten | Barber - Piano Concertos | Nocturnes

Deep personal resonances and a profound love for the music of two of the 20th century's greatest composers connect Elizabeth Joy Roe to the works on her Decca debut album. The critically acclaimed American pianist's new album offers the unique coupling of piano concertos by Benjamin Britten and Samuel Barber, among the finest keyboard concertos of the 20th century. In both works, Roe is joined by the London Symphony Orchestra and the Bulgarian conductor and composer Emil Tabakov. The concertos are presented in company with Britten's Night Piece "Notturno" and Barber's Nocturne "Homage to John Field". Barber's Pulitzer Prize-winning concerto, famed for its fiendish technical demands and neo-Romantic lyricism, enters the Decca catalog for the first time; Roe's account of the Britten Piano Concerto, meanwhile, marks Decca's first return to the score since it was recorded by Sviatoslav Richter under the composer's direction in 1970.
