Episode details

Expires on Monday 1:00pm
Float through a spacious collection of piano pieces, drawing on the rich lyricism of Romantic-era masters, the cinematic pull of composers like Jonny Greenwood and Gabriel Yared, and the ambient hush of modern visionaries. Maurice Ravel sets the tone with its graceful melancholy, while Elfrida Andrée and John Field offer 19th-century calm with quiet strength. Contemporary selections from Cerys Hafana, Daniel Blumberg, and Peter Chilvers bring new textures and tones—sometimes minimalist, sometimes orchestral, always resonant. Spanning over two centuries, this mix invites you into a contemplative sound world where clarity and calm quietly bloom. To listen on most smart speakers, just say: “Ask ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to play Piano Focusâ€. Produced by Ãine Devaney. A Reduced Listening production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds MM.
