Malcolm Martineau & Steven Osborne
  • Edinburgh International Festival

Two Edinburgh pianists combine their superb abilities for the first time in a performance of visionary richness and exuberance.

Malcolm Martineau and Steven Osborne, both Edinburgh pianists, are two of the most perceptive, persuasive keyboard performers on the world stage today " and much-loved regular visitors to the Edinburgh International Festival.

Martineau and Osborne are joined by a quartet of talented young singers in the exuberant emotions of Brahmss captivating Love Song Waltzes, two collections of charming but artfully crafted songs on the joys and trials of youthful love, whose effortless melodies miraculously bring together the worlds of Schubert and Johann Strauss II.

In between, Martineau and Osborne explore the richness and visionary exuberance of two classic piano duets. Schuberts touching Fantasie conveys a remarkable range of emotion in its unforgettable melodies, while Ravel recounts five larger-than-life fairy tales in his sparkling Mother Goose.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
