Contemplative piano music to relax your mind

Piano Focus

Available for 11 days

A carefully woven soundscape where impressionist textures, experimental improvisations, and contemporary reflections coalesce. Debussy’s bell-toned delicacy sets the stage, while jazz-inflected voices such as Abdullah Ibrahim and Nils Frahm breathe modern intimacy into the tradition. Voices once overlooked—like Viola Kinney’s poignancy and Ruth Gipps’ lyricism, find their place beside Delphine Dora’s dreamlike fragments and Aaron Breeze’s minimalist contemplations. 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.
