Beethoven: "Diabelli" Variations - Kovacevich - Philips

6:52 PM  Dell  2 comments

Covers + lossless, Not my Rip

This recording, made in 1968 when Kovacevich was a youthful lion of the concert platform, has long been a favourite among lovers of Beethoven’s titanic transformations of Diabelli’s little waltz. Nor has its power diminished with the intervening three decades: Kovacevich plays with an elemental energy, soaring through the entire gamut of Beethovenian feeling and philosophy. Leaving aside the marvellous technical accomplishment (the disc is well labelled ‘Virtuoso’) and the vibrant understanding of colour, brusque power and humour, this performance is a classic for the unshakeable conviction with which Kovacevich underlines every twist and quirk of Beethoven’s imagination.

Performance: 5 (out of 5), Sound: 4 (out of 5)

-- Jessica Duchen, BBC Music Magazine

1. Variations (33) for Piano on a Waltz by Diabelli in C major, Op. 120 by Ludwig van Beethoven
Performer: Stephen Kovacevich (Piano)
Period: Classical
Written: 1819-1823; Vienna, Austria
