Gentle piano to welcome calm

Subtly moving across eras and genres, this carefully curated mix brings together Romantic miniatures, ambient textures, and contemporary reflections.

Romantic lyricism gives way to jazz-inflected warmth and ambient contemporary sound worlds, drifting across centuries and genres. From the expressive piano writing of York Bowen, Amy Beach, and Roger Quilter to the spacious minimalism of Harold Budd and Joanna Brouk, the programme unfolds with a quiet sense of ease and reflection.

Produced by Áine Devaney.

A Reduced Listening production for BBC Sounds.
