About

Peter Seaborne stands apart from much in new music, following his own path. His work is often overtly passionate, communicative and full of energy. This new release – Steps - has fifteen movements, divided into three books of five pieces. Beautifully performed by pianist Giovanni Santin, the work was intended to be cycle, played in a single unbroken span. The composers wish is that other players will take up the challenge presenting the cycle in live performance.
