10. Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ, BWV 639 (Arr. Busoni)
More than any other genre in Chopin’s music, the nocturnes show him in his role as a charmer of the Paris salons.
The Nocturne op. 48/1 is one of Sophie Pacini’s favourite works: she still remembers it from a scene in the Academy-Award winning film Nuovo Cinema Paradiso. Tornatore’s cinematic masterpiece features a fragmented narrative structure that intermingles the past with the present – for instance by incorporating sequences from other films. Describing her success as a performer, Pacini puts it in a nutshell: ”I want to be a musical interpreter, not a keyboard dare devil”.
