Piano Sonata No. 1 in D minor, Op. 28
Prelude in D minor
Oskolki ‘Fragments’
Oriental sketch
Nunc dimittis
Moments musicaux, Op. 16

‘Rachmaninov fans won’t want to miss this’ was Gramophone’s verdict on Steven Osborne’s recording of the Études-tableaux, and this thrilling new release is an equally essential acquisition. Osborne proves a predictably fine exponent of the Faustian Piano Sonata No 1 and is no less compelling in the selection of shorter works which completes the album.
