Pianist Steven Osborne performs music by Schubert in tribute to the late pianist Alfred Brendel.
Schubert’s feverish Sonata in C minor D958 was written towards the end of his short life, during a period of great creativity despite increasing illness. His Four Impromptus D899 written around the same time have become musical miniatures at the heart of piano repertoire. Steven Osborne pairs Schubert’s music with works by James MacMillan and Judith Weir. Recorded at the Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh, presented by Stephen Broad.
