About "Nocturnes, Op. 9 : No. 1 in B flat major. Larghetto" by Brigitte Engerer
Chopin's first nocturne, in Engerer's hands, is a slow exhale of B-flat major—velvet calm over a trembling bass. The right hand sings like a distant bell; the left hand harbors a faint unease, as if the night itself were listening too closely.
