The pianist Iain Burnside has appeared in recital with many of the world’s leading singers. His recordings straddle an exuberantly eclectic repertoire ranging from Beethoven and Schubert to the cutting edge Gramophone Award-winning NMC Songbook. His recent discography includes recordings of songs by Rachmaninoff and Medtner. In 2017 / 18 he performed Schubert’s three song cycles with Roderick Williams at Wigmore Hall, where, the following season, he presented a major series of Russian songs. Elsewhere his projects have featured Rosa Feola, Ailish Tynan, Joyce DiDonato, Andrew Watts, Lawrence Brownlee, Benjamin Appl, Brett Polegato, and Roderick Williams. Away from the piano he is active as a writer and broadcaster. As presenter of BBC Radio 3’s Voices he won a Sony Radio Award. His play A Soldier and a Maker, created at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, was performed at the Barbican Centre and Cheltenham Festival and broadcast by Radio 3 on Armistice Day.
