Scenes from Childhood

faber
9780571362899

‘Stephen Hough’s memoir had me gripped from the beginning [ …] riveting and revelatory. Most memoirs give me far more than I want to know – this is the rare sort that left me urgently demanding a second volume, a third, a fourth. I loved it.’ — Philip Pullman

‘A warm, wise and unflinching stroll down memory lane. And Hough writes like a dream, with an almost Alan Bennett-like eye and ear for the sights and sounds of childhood ... What Hough's memoir makes abundantly, movingly clear is that all roads lead back to his parents ...They don't define him. But they made him. You can hear it in his music. Chaos, creation, catharsis.’ — Dan Cairns, Sunday Times

Stephen Hough's Piano Postcards

Hyperion
CDA68469
  • ‘Musicians are big on postcards … but none are as beautifully written as those by Stephen Hough, a reliable scribe wherever he is in the world … a joy to receive through the letterbox’ — Gramophone
  • ‘A holiday with Hough must be entirely delightful … inspired by the spirit of the Golden Age of pianism, Hough offers us a feast of piano transcriptions, putting paid to the pernicious prejudice that these are a less worthy form of music’ — BBC Music Magazine, 5 Stars
