Delicate piano music to guide your day

A gentle drift across eras and styles, from Romantic miniatures and impressionist colour to ambient minimalism and contemporary reflections.

Fluttering piano pieces unfold across centuries, from the lyricism of Ottorino Respighi and Maurice Ravel to the suspended textures of Kara-Lis Coverdale and Kelly Moran. Contemporary voices, including London鈥檚 Coby Sey, bring a soft, genre-blurring warmth, shaping a mix designed to steady the pace and guide focus.

Produced by 脕ine Devaney.
A Reduced Listening production for Radio 3 Unwind.
