Benjamin Frith - John Field: Piano Music, Volume 1 (Nocturnes and Sonatas) (1999) [Re-Up]

Fifteen years before Chopin wrote his first “nocturne”, Irish pianist/composer John Field composed his Nocturne No. 1 in E-flat major, followed by at least 15 more pieces in the same style. In these short works for solo piano, Field–who was one of the most celebrated pianists in the world during the first quarter of the 19th century–put form to the idea of a contemplative, lyrical composition, specifically tailored to the piano’s expressive capabilities. These “night” pieces are primarily characterized by a dominant, gracefully flowing melody, with most of the harmonic activity in the pianist’s left hand. Although other pianists have recorded at least some of Field’s Nocturnes–most notably John O’Conor (Telarc) and Miceál O’Rourke (Chandos)–Benjamin Frith’s own uniquely inflected, poetic readings have a satisfying aura of intimacy cast in the warm colors of his well-tempered, expertly recorded piano. Although O’Conor’s playing is more lyrical, with more fluid legatos, Frith generally takes more time–and these invariably lovely pieces blossom just as fully and brilliantly. The two sonatas are not notable for their originality–they owe much to their dedicatee, Field’s teacher Clementi–but they reveal the young composer’s gift for understanding the piano’s unique voice. This is music for everyone–for any time of day, for any prevailing mood–and we’re lucky to have such a fine pianist as Frith joining the Field field. [10/22/1999]
