In October, 2006, Celestial Harmonies’ release of the Chopin’s Nocturnes was reviewed in Frankfurt’s Musik an sich… by Sven Kerkhoff:

“The complete recording of Chopin’s Nocturnes has no equal. Woodward approaches them with great gentleness. Virtuosic tinkering with the keyboard is foreign to him. His concentrated inter-pretation is well thought out, now and then pensive and contains embellishments of astonishing yet never conceited liberties that demonstrate how strongly and in what a breathtakingly modern way Chopin has worked with sound colours.  Ethereal sound constructions rise and dissolve like phantastic dreamscapes. But those landscapes are of such ravishing beauty and the farewell from these intangible constructions so painful, that one has to continually catch one’s breath. Whoever could not, until now, marvel at or cry over Chopin will learn it here…
Unconditional recommendation!”
