Immerse yourself in the captivating world of classical piano with Steven Osborne's exquisite album, "Ravel: Piano Concertos; Falla: Nights in the Gardens of Spain." This remarkable collection, released on June 2, 2017, under the Hyperion label, showcases Osborne's virtuosity alongside the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the talented Ludovic Morlot.
The album is a delightful blend of Maurice Ravel's enchanting piano concertos and Manuel de Falla's evocative "Noches en los jardines de España." Osborne's masterful interpretation of Ravel's "Piano Concerto in G Major" and the lesser-known "Piano Concerto for the Left Hand in D Major" is a testament to his technical prowess and artistic sensitivity. The concertos are complemented by Falla's "Noches en los jardines de España," a suite of three movements that paint vivid musical pictures of the gardens of Spain, each piece more captivating than the last.
With a total runtime of 1 hour and 3 minutes, this album is a treasure trove of classical piano music that will enchant both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Whether you're in the mood for the lively "Allegramente" or the serene "Adagio assai" of Ravel's concerto, or the distant dance of "Danza lejana" from Falla's suite, Osborne's performance promises to transport you to a world of musical splendor. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this stunning collection of works, performed with unparalleled skill and passion by one of today's most celebrated pianists.
