Gentle piano music to brighten the day

Piano Focus

Available for 8 days

Relax and witness the metamorphosis of piano music unfurl across 25 decades of delicate solo pieces. Here the refined touch of late-Romantic voices like Mel Bonis and Felipe Pedrell dissolves into the luminous passages of Fiona Brice and Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch. Expect blissed-out wonder from Harold Budd and the experimental textures of Sarah Davachi. Curated especially to summon calm and focus. Produced by Áine Devaney. A Reduced Listening production for BBC Sounds MM. To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Piano Focus'.
