Product description

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of classical piano with Steven Osborne's exquisite album, released on August 31, 2014, under the Hyperion label. This album is a masterful blend of Rachmaninoff's and Medtner's timeless compositions, showcasing Osborne's virtuosic skill and deep musical sensitivity.

The album opens with Rachmaninoff's Piano Sonata No. 2, a monumental work that demonstrates Osborne's technical prowess and emotional depth. The sonata's four movements, from the stormy Allegro agitato to the triumphant Finale, are rendered with precision and passion. Following this, Osborne tackles Rachmaninoff's Variations on a Theme of Corelli, a piece that highlights his ability to convey a wide range of emotions and moods.

The second half of the album is dedicated to Medtner's Sonata romantica, a lesser-known but equally compelling work. Osborne's interpretation brings out the romanticism and lyricism of this piece, making it a standout feature of the album.

With a total duration of 1 hour and 11 minutes, this album is a testament to Osborne's artistry and his ability to breathe new life into these classical masterpieces. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to leave you spellbound.
