Josep Soler, Jordi Masó - Nocturnes

Review by David Perlik

Nocturnes, the latest album by Spanish composer Josep Soler and pianist Jordi Masó, is a stunning collection of nocturnes that showcase the duo's virtuosity and musical sensitivity. The album features ten pieces, each one more hauntingly beautiful than the last.

From the opening notes of "Nocturne in E-flat Major," Soler and Masó transport the listener to a dreamlike world of moonlit landscapes and melancholic melodies. The duo's interplay is seamless, with Masó's delicate touch perfectly complementing Soler's emotional depth and lyrical phrasing.

One of the highlights of the album is "Nocturne in C Minor," a piece that showcases Soler's gift for creating intricate harmonies and Masó's ability to convey the full range of emotions contained within the music. The piece builds to a climax that is both powerful and poignant, leaving the listener breathless.
