Andrew Manze Conductor
Steven Osborne Piano
Ravel effortlessly blends together raucous jazz and heartbreaking tenderness in his quicksilver Piano Concerto – and Edinburgh-based international piano virtuoso Steven Osborne is just the musician to convey the piece’s exquisite wit and sparkle.
Elsewhere in conductor Andrew Manze’s concert of poetry and playfulness, Ravel offers a touching tribute to an imagined Spanish princess, Honegger celebrates the beauty of the summertime Alps, and Haydn unleashes sonic glories in the last and most exuberant of his ‘Paris’ symphonies.
