‘I was halfway through writing up Alice Coote's wonderfully fragile 'L'heure exquise' album when I unwrapped Steven Osborne's Hammerklavier Sonata. Raw, dangerous, profound—this is a true marriage of daring and conviction.

Enticing couplings, too—Walton's Concerto and Holst's seductive ‘Invocation’ both enjoying gloriously trenchant advocacy’ (Gramophone)
