About

Leif Ove Andsnes is one of the world’s leading pianists, and winner of the BBC Music Magazine Award for Recording of the Year, 2015.

His new album is a personal selection of Jean Sibelius’ unknown and remarkably beautiful piano gems.

Andsnes sees himself on a mission to present a neglected repertoire of the Finnish composer: “I’m really passionate about his piano music, which is so beautiful and haunting. How can there be a major composer out there with such accessible music that people don’t know. The fact that many will be hearing it for the first time, that’s a wonderful feeling.

Reviews

[The music has] “a magic of its own which Andsnes casts equally, with his pure-source sound and range of colours.”  David Nice
BBC Music Magazine December 2017
“moist-eyed sentimentality and charm … nothing wrong with that but this is modest stuff treated to elite playing.”  Rob Barnett
