Album Description

Daniel Barenboim presents 'A Recital', a captivating classical music album that showcases his mastery of the piano. Released on 11 March 2025 via UME - Global Clearing House, this 2-hour and 27-minute masterpiece is a testament to Barenboim's skill and dedication to his craft.

The album features a stunning rendition of Beethoven's 33 Variations in C Major, Op. 120, performed live at the prestigious Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin in 2020. This iconic piece is a cornerstone of classical music, and Barenboim's interpretation is both nuanced and powerful. The variations are expertly woven together, creating a sense of tension and release that will keep you enthralled from start to finish.

In addition to the Beethoven piece, the album also includes beautiful performances of Mozart's Piano Sonatas, including the elegant Piano Sonata No. 10 in C Major, K. 330, and the expressive Piano Sonata No. 13 in B-Flat Major, K. 333. Barenboim's playing is characterised by its clarity and precision, bringing out the intricate details of these beloved compositions.

The album is rounded out by a selection of Chopin's exquisite waltzes, including the delicate Waltz No. 4 in F Major, Op. 34 No. 3, and the charming Waltz No. 6 in D-Flat Major, Op. 64 No. 1, also known as the "Minute Waltz". Barenboim's sensitive touch and expressive phrasing bring these pieces to life, conjuring up the elegance and refinement of a bygone era.

With 'A Recital', Daniel Barenboim invites you to experience the beauty and majesty of classical music, performed with passion and dedication. This album is a must-listen for fans of classical piano, opera, and chamber music, and a testament to Barenboim's status as one of the world's leading pianists.
