They are all pretty good.

 

I don't think he's often associated with Chopin's music, but I agree.

 

I'll put in a plug for an underrated nocturne not listed in the poll: Op. 37, No. 1 in G Minor. The B section chorale is to die for. It's probably the most unvirtuosic passage Chopin ever wrote, and the simplicity is part of its beauty.

 

The second section always reminds me of the Bach Chorales. Considering Chopin's admiration for Bach it's not really surprising.

 

1. 48/1
2. 72/1
3. 27/1

While I'm generally not a fan, I have to give 48/1 to Lisitsa:

72/1 to Richter(?), yes Richter!

27/1: Rubinstein

 

72/1 to Richter(?), yes Richter!

Why the question mark?
It could come as no surprise to anyone to suggest Richter in any piece he played.

 

Nocturne in C Sharp Minor (opus post). Have it beautifully performed on the violin by Joshua Bell on the album "Romance of the Violin".

Also have a bad one performed by Lang Lang!! Trying to get hold of another interpretation but not having much luck!

 

The op9 and op27 sets are my favourites, and I like to listen to them as sets rather than the individual nocturnes. With a maximum of 3 votes, I picked the op9 set.

 

Another vote for Op. 27, No. 2 with Daniel Barenboim on the piano.

 

Many many favorites, and it's good that multiple options for voting are allowed. :}

Op. 9 No. 2
Op. 15, Op.27 and Op.32 sets.

 

My other is No. 20 in C-Sharp minor, Op. posth.

The version by Pires is the one I have heard.

 

Other: Op. 37 no. 2. It has a lilting, Barcarolle-like sound that I love. Languid and dreamy and wistful, as though Chopin were imagining some impossibly blissful day in the distant past or the distant future. Rubinstein is my favorite pianist for this work:
