Stephen Hough - Piano Postcards Stephen Hough
CD format
Sir Stephen Hough’s new solo piano album, Stephen Hough’s Piano Postcards, explores the world from the perspective of the itinerant pianist sending home musical messages from his voyages.
Stephen picks beloved songs and tunes from around the world—from Japan, Taiwan, Mexico, Spain and beyond—then wittily re-imagines them for the piano.
These deft new arrangements form a homage to the countries he has come to love over a lifetime of travelling and performing, musical morsels sent home to us, his listeners, for aural delectation.
