St Magnus International Festival: Steven Osborne

Pianist Steven Osborne bookends Debussy's 'La cathedrale engloutie' with Rachmaninov's Etudes-Tableaux as the St Magnus Festival series continues.

In this, the second lunchtime concert from Orkney's annual celebration of the arts, pianist Steven Osborne contrasts Debussy's visionary and atmospheric 'La cathédrale engloutie' with the emotional and technical intensity of Rachmaninov's Études-Tableaux, Op. 33 and a selection of the later Op. 39 Etudes. Recorded in the stunning setting of St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney as part of this year's St. Magnus International Festival.
