The Diabelli Project
Leading pianist Rudolf Buchbinder’s first album for Deutsche Grammophon is an innovative tribute to Beethoven. As well as recording the famed Diabelli Variations, Buchbinder plays 12 newly commissioned variations on the same theme, echoing music publisher Anton Diabelli’s original 1819 project that inspired Beethoven. Also included are the eight other variations written for Diabelli at the time, by composers including Schubert and Liszt.
