Steven Osborne, piano, performs Prelude in B minor by Rachmaninov (Opus 32, n.10)

Steven Osborne--- do you know the name Erik Peter Hansen from Salt Lake City Utah? A great pianist : Steven Osborne once played some music for me when I was younger. Music I had composed for a girl.... or maybe just a friend....

Soon after I recorded this, I was on holiday by myself in Sicily, early summertime, cycling.

And at that time and from that time this piece can be to me a most beauttiful Sicilienne. Some people may tell you a Sicilienne does not mean the type of piece is Sicillian, just Italian, but there's no question to me Sicilienne is old Sicillian. I could never be surer - even if I'm wrong, bu I'm not! I know.

This recording now to me is beautiful, dark beaches at night in Sicily and the countryside

the beginning support chords are so soft yet so deep. in the middle section, each deep octave has its own quick gravitational pull towards the computer screen. 10/10

I have listened to the preludes cd. I dare say it must be one of the best recordings of the Rachmaninov preludes ever. His interpretation digs deep into Rachmaninov's complex emotions. A must for the Rachmaninovphile!

incredible emotion and pace!

He was fantastic tonight playing Mozart's Piano Concerto in B-flat K595 with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

I don`t thik Steven Osborne will complain about your ree advert for him here. He plays this piece fantastically. Hope he will be equally as good playing Mozart n Friday in Glasgow. After hearing ths I am even more looking foward to Friday.

You are educating me (thanks). I take it you mean High Dynamic Range imaging? I didn't know what you meant by HDR, so I've gone and looked it up, and it'll take me a while to make something of what it is. I'm a newcomer to digital photography and videos, my knowledge is quite slim. I hope to get back to you.

at 2mins, nice photo. HDR maybe?

Hello again. It took a while to get back to you. In the last 2 or so years I have this sense that I'm detatched from many technological things. I did used to know what H.D.R. is, I've remembered. I realised I'd forgotten the name. When I was choosing that photo to share this video, I remember wondering if that was (what I called) a camera 'multi-shoot' creation, or from more than 1 camera. And I concluded that it's possible with 1 excellent camera with specific settings ranges. I couldn't tell.
