░ ..;Release Notes;.. ░
░ Scottish pianist Steven Osborne began his ░
░ course of study in his native Edinburgh ░
░ with Richard Beauchamp; he completed it ░
░ at the Royal Northern College of Music in ░
░ Manchester with Renna Kellaway. Osborne ░
░ first became a known quantity when he ░
░ took first prize at the Clara Haskil ░
░ Competition in Vevey, Switzerland, in ░
░ 1991. With that honor came a number of ░
░ engagements and concert appearances, but ░
░ these had long been fulfilled by 1997 ░
░ when Osborne won the Naumberg Foundation ░
░ Award in New York. This established ░
░ Osborne more firmly as a force to be ░
░ reckoned with among young piano virtuosi, ░
░ and the following year he signed a ░
░ recording contract with Hyperion Records ░
░ in England, the first fruit of which was ░
░ his recording of piano concertos by ░
░ Alexander MacKenzie and Donald Tovey in ░
░ the nineteenth volume of the Romantic ░
░ Piano Concerto series. Since then, ░
░ Osborne has appeared in concert ░
░ throughout the world and has recorded ░
░ quite bit more for Hyperion, including ░
░ works of Messiaen, Debussy, Alkan, ░
░ Schnittke, Liszt, and Russian composer ░
░ Nikolai Kapustin. In concert, Osborne ░
░ also plays the piano music of Michael ░
░ Tippett, Bart≤k, and Mozart. ░
░ ░
░ ░
░ While there is much to admire in Steven ░
░ Osborne's 2009 Hyperion recording of ░
░ Rachmaninov's complete preludes, some ░
░ fans of the composer may ultimately find ░
░ themselves dissatisfied with his ░
░ performances. Osborne is clearly a ░
░ virtuoso with a wonderfully varied color ░
░ palette and a way of balancing melody and ░
░ harmony for maximum effectiveness There ░
░ are some strong elements; his fleet ░
░ fingers in the "A flat major Prelude," ░
░ his sumptuous sonorities in the "C sharp ░
░ minor Prelude," his galloping rhythms in ░
░ the "G minor Prelude," or his rolling ░
░ left hand arpeggios in the "B flat major ░
░ Prelude," in addition to his overall ░
░ command, control, and technique. Other ░
░ listeners may question Osborne's feel for ░
░ Rachmaninov's music. The restless ░
░ melancholy of the "B minor Prelude," the ░
░ volatile passion of the "F minor ░
░ Prelude," and the spooky atmosphere of ░
░ the "G sharp minor Prelude" are here, but ░
░ to nowhere near the same degree as in ░
░ other accounts of the pieces by veteran ░
░ Rachmaninov pianists such as Vladimir ░
░ Ashkenazy, where the music's ░
░ hyper-Romantic emotional content is ░
░ superbly expressed in wholly idiomatic ░
░ performances. Hyperion's digital sound, ░
░ though clear and colorful, is ░
░ surprisingly a bit thin and a tad ░
░ distant. James Leonard, All Music Guide ░
