Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steven Osborne
Q: What challenges does he face on stage and how does he handle them?
Nerves and memory lapses have been managed through therapy, strategic use of scores when needed, and a philosophy that performance is about conveying feeling rather than perfection.
Steven Osborne
Q: How does improvisation influence his classical playing?
Improvisation deepens embodiment and connection with the music, helping him listen to his body and the audience, and it reshapes his approach to tempo, structure, and expression.
Steven Osborne
Q: What makes the new album different from his previous work?
It's a cohesive collection that ties pieces together through personal narrative, using liner notes to tell the story of his musical life rather than presenting a random assortment.
Jeremy Nicholas
Q: If there was one pianist dead or alive you would travel long and far to hear, who would it be?
The guest would most like to hear Liszt, valuing the historical impact, stage presence, and piano mastery he represented, and expressing a desire to have shared a conversation or a cognac with him.
Katia and Marielle Labèque
Q: One person, dead or alive, you would like to play for?
They would love to meet Paul McCartney to discuss creativity and longevity in a musical career, praising his vitality and continued output, while also acknowledging Igor Stravinsky as an inspirational figure they feel they could have played for, were time travel possible.
