Opis

Beethoven: Diabelli Variations, Op. 120Opis:Product DescriptionFollowing critically acclaimed traversals of Mozart's Sonatas and J.

S. Bach's groundbreaking Goldberg Variations, Daniel-Ben Pienaar scales the heights of Beethoven's monumental Diabelli Variations, complemented by the six Bagatelles, Op. 126. Daniel-Ben Pienaar "makes the Goldbergs sound more like that other supreme set of variations, Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, than any other pianist has." An appropriate observation from BBC Music Magazine, as Pienaar follows his acclaimed recording of Bach's groundbreaking Goldberg Variations, by scaling the heights of Beethoven's monumental 33 Variations on a waltz by Anton Diabelli. Variously called "the greatest set of variations ever written" and "the greatest of all piano works", this late work is one of Beethoven's most adventurous, suitably challenging for Pienaar's technical wizardry and probing intellect. He compliments the set with Beethoven's last great work for solo piano, the Bagatelles, Op. 126, which themselves are no mere trifles. As with his previous releases, Pienaar contributes in-depth notes which delve deeply into the music's enigmas. Combined with his sometimes provocative, always enlightening interpretations, Pienaar has once again created a highly satisfying release for the committed classical listener. Personnel: Daniel-Ben Pienaar (piano)ReviewPienaar is garnering a growing international reputation as a recitalist… the young South African makes light of its technical rigours and springs plenty of interpretative surprises...

Pienaar skates with brilliant insouciance through tantalisingly brief prestos, and through scherzando and vivace variations, while giving due weight and depth to the slowest sections. --The Sunday Times (Album of the Week), (Hugh Canning), November 2012(5 stars) It is hard to imagine why anyone would not be delighted by this fine modern version. --Pianist, December 2013/January 2014Autor:Ludwig van BeethovenNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: English: Published; EnglishData wydania: 2012-10-15Waga: 0.24 gramWysokość: 0.4 cmSzerokość: 4.8 cmDługość: 5.6 cmUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
