SUMMARY:Steven Osborne Recital
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Instrumentalist of the Year in 2013\, pianist Steven Osborne is one of Britain’s most treasured musicians.

His residencies at London’s Wigmore Hall\, Antwerp’s deSingel\, the Bath International Music Festival\, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and\, this season\, at the Royal Scottish National Orchestra are a testament to the respect with which he is held. \nDescribed by The Observer as “always a player in absolute service to the composer”\, Steven Osborne recently released a much praised recording of Beethoven’s last three piano sonatas for Hyperion. During the Beethoven anniversary year\, Osborne will present his illuminating take on these late works across the UK\, the Far East\, and North America as well as part of his RSNO residency for which he’ll also play Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto and Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27. Other orchestral highlights during the new season include more Beethoven and Mozart with the Finnish Radio Symphony and BBC National Orchestra of Wales\, as well as Ravel with the BBC Philharmonic and Brahms with the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra. \nSteven Osborne
