Music Chamber

The first recording of internationally renowned British composer David Osbon's piano sonatas. Intense contemporary music written in traditional classical sonata structure. David says of these works: ‘Although composed over several years these 3 sonatas were always designed to be a set of works that could be performed together or individually. There are some very obvious thematic and harmonic links between each of the sonatas that, I hope, create a unity across the three works. I have deliberately set each of these in a traditional 3 movement format and I have stayed very close to traditional formal structures such as Sonata Allegro form, Ritornello form etc. It worked for Mozart, it worked for Beethoven so why shouldn’t it work for me? If there is any inspiration behind this music it is Jane Beament’s playing.’
