About

Igor Levit’s album “Bach, Beethoven, Rzewski” (Sony Classical) won the acclaimed ‘Recording of the Year’ at the Gramophone Awards 2016. Now, Sony Classical brings these three major works, Bach’s Goldberg Variations, Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations, and Frederic Rzewski’s Variations on "The People United Will Never Be Defeated” separately on one disc.

Levit is particularly at ease with the piano works of Beethoven. He is currently performing a Beethoven cycle at the Wigmore Hall where he is performing all Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas over 8 concerts. The Diabelli Variations form part of Beethoven’s later output and is recorded here by Levit; “Not since Andreas Staier’s version on fortepiano for Harmonia Mundi has there been such a riveting dissection of Beethoven’s amused quirkiness” (BBC Music Magazine).
