Feldman / Crumb / Steven Osborne - Palais De Mari/A Little Suite For Christmas - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Feldman Palais de Mari; Crumb A Little Suite for Christmas Steven Osborne (piano) - The extraordinary soundscapes conjured by Morton Feldman and George Crumb are like nothing else in the whole of twentieth-century music, and Steven Osborne is the most sympathetic of guides to these rarefied worlds. The meticulously crafted program features Feldman's last solo piano work, Palais de Mari, and Crumb's A Little Suite for Christmas, which traces the life of Jesus Christ. Born in Scotland in 1971, Steven Osborne studied with Richard Beauchamp at St. Mary's Music School in Edinburgh and Renna Kellaway at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.
