Osborne’s recording is recommendable.

3rd August 2018

Osborne approaches these works as fundamentally lyrical, introspective miniature masterworks rather than quasi-symphonic showpieces...If the prevailing atmosphere is one of understatement and even diffidence, Osborne certainly doesn’t disappoint in the more extrovert ‘pictures’...In fact, his natural inclination towards introspection makes the moments when he does open out into something more expansive all the more engaging.

30th July 2018

It instils the works with a certain mystery, captured imaginatively and authoritatively by Steven Osborne. As Rachmaninov said, “a small piece can become as lasting a masterpiece as a large work”. Osborne proves his point.

24th August 2018

Osborne’s pianistic brilliance and deftness easily lets us conjure up our own narratives — or no narratives at all.
