Well this made me cry. This is the most beautiful of Chopin's Nocturnes in my opinion.

[johngransby]

In my opinion, one of the best interpretations of the Nocturne I have heard. The Nocturne reminds me of contemplating the moon on a starry night. Don't you just love Chopin's last two chords in the final resolution ? Truly beautiful. JRG.

Pan Fryderyk Chopin jest dumą Polski! Cały naród jest z niego dumny! 🇵🇱

Great performance. Emotional and yet controlled. Unlike most other versions, the mid-section has excitement without distorted rhythm. Expressive asynchrony was tastefully done.

[handznet]

I absolutely love her interpretation. One of the best I have heard - and I have heard tons of them. Great power and control. I love her clean yet no too dry sound during the middle part.

[NINOABSNABSN]

Every reading of Chopin that she does surprises me a lot. She puts her technique purely at the service of interpretation, sometimes she sacrifices an entire section so that the next reaches an audible shock in the listener. It is definitely something very special.

i come back again and again for this fantastic performance. thanks so much for playing!

Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem.

2:35 WOW what a sound. She punctured my soul

[scottludwig]

Wow!! Stunning Performance! This is my favorite version of what is quite possibly my favorite Nocturne of all! I've had this on loop for so long... This will be my source reference for when I try to tackle this amazing composition from Chopin! Thanks for sharing your talent and being so brave to do this in front of all those people. Amazing.

She created stark contrast between sections and the climax of the piece is so intense. I usually listen to this performance before playing the piece myself.

[danielabisenius]

Phenomenal touch on keys. Feather like but with the perfect weight. Congratulations!!!

Chopin has music that is not of our civilization. Fillings, emotions, passion, love. Astonishing music. 👏

[liceous]

she has excellent pedaling technique and an appreciation and perhaps preference for un-pedaled voicing - something that i believe comes only with age

[cambodennis]

Beautiful singing quality and nice balance between the high and low tones.

3.26 to 3.50 : always loved that left hand descent to the depths....furious, dark, menacing....yet .... b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l- !!!!

[marctaras]

Excellent. Really enjoy this performance. Chopin would have loved it.

[themoroccanpianist]

she managed to express this gloomy, and sad atmosphere of the beginning! what a marvel!

[harmonicapal]

♥️ My heart and my soul became one with Julianna's unbelievably amazing interpretation of this magical Nocturne of the ultimate Frédéric Chopin. Best wishes and greetings to Julianna.

[caducarvalho]

That is the performance that made me fall in love with her and with this piece.
