Explore the best of piano across the centuries, from early Romantic-era classics to freshly unearthed gems of the contemporary classical canon. Showcasing British excellence, Cyril Scott soothes with his gentle melodies, while London-based newcomer Thibault Ravina impresses with a masterful touch, proving himself a composer in the lineage of the Romantic greats. Electronic pioneer Joanna Brouk brings experimental finesse to classical form, blurring the boundaries between ambient minimalism and composed structure. Meanwhile, Catalan composer Federico Mompou grounds the journey in impressionist stillness and spiritual clarity. To listen on most smart speakers, just say: “Ask BBC Sounds to play Piano Focus”.
