    Oh, I thought the Nocturne just wonderful - he was so relaxed, the rubato! And the varied touch in the decorations...oh boy.

      Interesting. I thought it was pretty grim by his exalted standards ..lumpy and with no flow.

        Yes an absolute winner of a performance - especially the third movement!
        "...the isle is full of noises,
        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
