About the Artist

In performances by Steven Osborne, “one of the UK”s most gifted pianists active today” (Bachtrack), “vast technical command is balanced by penetrating insight” (The Guardian). His playing is “idiomatic at every level and breathtaking in its sweep and verve” (The Herald).

“What a world of sound and colour this pianist conjured up. Rarely do you witness such textural detail, so delicately balanced. This was a masterclass in the true beauty of pianism, delivered with an intelligent and instinctive musicality” (The Scotsman).

“Osborne was a master of momentum and color, a wielder of power and a sure navigator through huge landscapes, and his Rachmaninoff was both coherent and daringly free” (The Washington Post).

“Osborne immediately presents himself as a Schubertian of the utmost seriousness and integrity” (Gramophone).
