Product Description

Steven Osborne's "Mackenzie & Tovey: Piano Concertos" is a captivating journey through the world of classical piano concertos, released on August 1, 1998, under the Hyperion label. This album showcases Osborne's exceptional skill and versatility as he performs two significant works: the Piano Concerto in A Major, Op. 15 by Alexander Mackenzie and the Scottish Concerto, Op. 55 by Ronald Stevenson.

The album opens with Mackenzie's Piano Concerto in A Major, a three-movement piece that spans a range of emotions and tempos, from the energetic first movement to the march-like third movement. Osborne's performance is both technically impressive and deeply expressive, bringing out the nuances of each section.

The second half of the album is dedicated to Stevenson's Scottish Concerto, a more complex and expansive work that reflects the composer's deep connection to Scottish folk music. Osborne navigates the intricate passages and varied moods of this concerto with remarkable skill, offering a performance that is both powerful and nuanced.

With a total runtime of just over an hour, this album is a testament to Osborne's artistry and the enduring appeal of these classical works. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, "Mackenzie & Tovey: Piano Concertos" offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
