Steven Osborne Piano

Ask Steven Osborne which music he’d choose above all others, and he replies ‘Beethoven, for the enormous emotional range, the intellectual engagement, the earthiness, the humour, and the genius way of dealing with musical structure.’ So even though there’s practically nothing that this great Scottish pianist can’t play, the prospect of hearing him playing Beethoven’s last – and most transcendent – piano sonatas in one recital, is little short of thrilling. Music from the edge, performed by a master.
