Dreamy piano to soften the day

Piano Focus

Available for 29 days

Impressionist piano classics dissolve into ambient minimalism and reverb-softened contemporary reflections, drifting across eras and genres. From the shimmering waters of Maurice Ravel and the nocturnal lyricism of Ottorino Respighi to the suspended textures of Harold Budd, Kara-Lis Coverdale, and Christina Vantzou, the programme unfolds with a dreamlike sense of motion and stillness. Produced by Áine Devaney. A Reduced Listening production for BBC Sounds.
