Steven Osborne (piano)

SCULPTING WITH SOUND

Just like Steven Osborne is an admirer of Debussy, Debussy adored Watteau’s paintings. No wonder that the composer repeatedly tried to translate the experience of looking into sound.

Schubert’s fiery Impromptus D. 935 and Rachmaninov’s heroic Études tableaux are similar transformations, from dramatic scenes to a musical narrative. The acclaimed pianist Steven Osborne takes the floor.
