J.S. Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier Book I @hyperionrecords
“This joins the top rank and is a solid ‘keeper’ even for collectors with many versions already on their shelves. Let’s hope Minsoo Sohn tackles Book 2 before too long.”

Steven explains that 'learning a new piece of music often feels to me like a love affair': one such infatuation was Keith Jarrett performing 'My song'. Steven transcribed this after months of listening and says that playing it 'felt almost like touching something sacred'.
It's the second single from Steven Osborne's upcoming new album, 'OK by me - A life in encores'. Watch the video 🎞️ youtu.be/joyHCowTPPw

Mountaineers - Recently, Sir Stephen Hough performed the Rach 3 with Sir Simon Rattle and the BRSO in Europe. If you couldn’t attend, his 2005 Gramophone Award-winning set with Litton/Dallas will give you an idea of what you missed. On CD, vinyl and streaming. @hyperionrecords

When she was only seven, the teenage Joseph Haydn came to live in Marianne Martínez's building in Vienna after being expelled from the church choir for naughty pranks. In lieu of paying rent, Haydn gave her keyboard lessons.
The Sonata in A major, in three short movements, shows Martínez's vivacious character and her command of the ‘galant’ style. From Susan Tomes's new album, 'Women composers and the piano', out now. Watch the video 🎞️ youtu.be/Z3VfKn7R6XM?si=4smB…
