Available for 18 days
A meditative journey across the piano’s diverse canon—where classical forms meet cinematic minimalism and ambient textures. Ruth Gipps’ luminous Opalescence opens the set, followed by quiet gems from Ferruccio Busoni and Maria Thompson Corley. Contemporary composers like Kelly Moran and Alice Boman bring a touch of modernity, while Nils Frahm and John Cage gently shape a contemplative soundscape. Produced by Áine Devaney A Reduced Listening Production for BBC Radio 3 Unwind. MM. To listen on most smart speakers, just say, “ask BBC Sounds to play Piano Focus”
