“When Steven Osborne gave his recital here at The Cumnock Tryst in 2019 the Scotsman’s music critic wrote ‘Here is a pianist who thinks deeply and meaningfully about every note he plays. He does not submit to mere reverence. He brings the composer back to life on his own terms. Simply superb.’
And the Daily Telegraph said this about him ‘Some pianists gild everything they touch with their own personality; some are like chameleons, finding a new colour for each composer. Last night the wonderful Scottish pianist Steven Osborne did both, which lent the whole evening a miraculous air…every note seemed to vibrate with intelligence.’
I am delighted that Steven is back with us to give the inaugural recital of our tenth festival. His programme for us is a delightful journey, covering a diverse range of music from Bach to Judith Weir and some jazz to round it off. This will be a major Tryst event.”
