Reflective piano sounds to evoke calm

Piano Focus

Available for 8 days

A curated dialogue between eras, where traditional piano repertoire dissolves into the ambient and experimental textures of contemporary music. Expect jazz-laced intonations from contemporary voices like Zach Frampton and the late Duke Ellington, seamlessly woven alongside the refined Romanticism of Mel Bonis and Lili Boulanger, and the impressionistic shimmer of Maurice Ravel. To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Piano Focus'. Produced by Áine Devaney. A Reduced Listening production for BBC Sounds MM.
