About

A programme which bridges Debussy’s first work for piano (the Danse bohémienne, from 1880) and his last (Les soirs illuminés par l’ardeur du charbon, from 1917). Steven Osborne is equally responsive to the very different musical moods of both.

Reviews

Total delight, whether you listen to it in one or more sittings  (Instrumental Choice)
BBC Music Magazine November 2022
Steven Osborne’s new Hyperion recording of Debussy is a veritable feast, consisting of the most delicate and delectable dishes served up to perfection. ... One of the things that makes Osborne’s interpretations so appealing is the spontaneous ease with which they meet the ear. I can’t think of another reading of the Suite bergamasque that sounds so fresh, as though it were improvised on the spot. ... Once again we have the opportunity of hearing both a superb pianist in top form and a deep and perceptive musician at work. Don’t miss this one.  Patrick Rucker
Gramophone November 2022
This is one of those discs that I could easily listen to all the way through and then immediately repeat. Steven Osborne […] has a special affinity for Debussy’s music. […] Hyperion’s product is at its usual classy best and the recorded sound ideally captures the piano with clarity and warmth. I cannot think of another disc that has given me more pleasure this year than Osborne’s Debussy here.

Each new album from pianist Seven Osborne offers beautifully prepared interpretations with something distinctive to say about the repertoire – and this latest Debussy recital is no exception.
