Steven Osborne launches the EIF's Brendel tribute with astonishingly sensitive Schubert, while the Queen's Hall audience scarcely dares to breathe.

Paul Lewis continued his enlightening exploration of Haydn, Beethoven and Brahms with performances of delicacy, steel and depth, where quality ruled over quantity.

If Beethoven referred to his own compositional approach as “redend” (speaking), then Levit speaks him clearly, beautifully and fluently.
