Pianist Alice Sara Ott on nostalgia in the undiscovered

deutsche grammophon

We've all had that strange déjà vu experience before, where something new feels somehow familiar.

That was the experience Alice Sara Ott had when she began playing through John Field's Nocturnes.

She hadn't grown up playing them, she hadn't really studied them in school, and yet- the music felt nostalgic.

She spoke to me about how she discoverd Field's Nocturnes for herself, how there can be freedom in simplicity, and more.
