A brief excerpt from Elizabeth's liner notes (included in the physical album version):
The eighteen Nocturnes are a luminous testament to John Field's originality and vision. Somehow these pieces give sonic shape to the nocturnal experience with its subconscious yearnings, amorphous fantasies, and primeval remembrances. Here is a sort of universal music transcending the bounds of geography and time, a reminder of Night's eternal allure and our enduring dreams of escape, oblivion, and communion.
