Centre the mind with transcendent piano sounds

Piano Focus

Available for 25 days

A meditative journey across the piano’s diverse canon—where classical forms meet cinematic minimalism and ambient textures. Ruth Gipps’ luminous Opalescence opens the set, followed by quiet gems from Ferruccio Busoni and Maria Thompson Corley. Contemporary composers like Kelly Moran and Alice Boman bring a touch of modernity, while Nils Frahm and John Cage gently shape a contemplative soundscape. Produced by Ãine Devaney A Reduced Listening Production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 3 Unwind. MM. To listen on most smart speakers, just say, “ask ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to play Piano Focusâ€
