Complete music for piano & orchestra

"Osborne plays all with diamantine brilliance." Sunday Times, 19th May 2013

"Osborne manifests both his rhythmic élan and his refined sense of tonal shading, underpinning the performances with virile energy...finding a spirited sparring-partner in the BBC Scottish Symphony under Ilan Volkov." The Telegraph, 29th May 2013

"though they do not manage to make either [concerto] more likable, Osborne and Volkov judge them perfectly - keeping the Concerto, as well as the slightly later Capriccio, on a tight rein, and threading a lucid path through the thickets and intricacies of the Movements." The Guardian, 30th May 2013 ****

"The outstanding work here is the Concerto for piano and wind instruments (1923-24), played by Osborne in a way that finds wit in the rhythmic quirks while lending substance to the music's 18th-century references, so that it never sounds dry." Financial Times, 8th June 2013 ***

"It is becoming routine, almost a cliché to say it, but Hyperion once again has not shortchanged the customer in its production values. The author of the excellent notes is Charles M. Joseph, Professor Emeritus at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York and the author of four books on Stravinsky. I didn't know of his work before, but am now eager to seek it out. The attractive cover on the booklet is of a reproduction of Paul Klee's Senecio that captures the spirit of the music well. For me, then, this is the best collection yet of Stravinsky's music for piano and orchestra, and with added bonuses." (Recording of the Month MusicWeb Aug 2013)
"With Steven Osborne as soloist, the concertante works are in exceptionally good hands...After the Capriccio's grandiose opening, Osborne's tight control of the piano's insistent, driving textures provides a firm foundation for the opening movement's unexpected humanity and charm." BBC Music Magazine, July 2013 ****
