Steven Osborne: The Complete Solo Piano Works of Ravel (Part 1)
We’re delighted to welcome RNCM alumnus Steven Osborne for the first in this cycle of Ravel’s complete solo piano works.
The subtle colours and textures of Ravel’s piano music are often compared to those of his older contemporary Debussy but, in fact, Ravel got there first, defining a new, distinctly French style of pianism with Jeux d’eau in 1902. Tonight’s helping also features the composer’s evocation of a pavane that a young princess might, in the 16th or 17th century, have danced at the Spanish court, alongside Ravel’s epic piano masterpiece, Gaspard de la nuit, a set of three ferocious pieces derived from the macabre prose-ballads of Aloysius Bertrand.
You can catch the second part of Osborne’s project at the RNCM on 14 June.
