Album Description

Rudolf Buchbinder, the celebrated pianist and renowned Beethoven specialist, presents his groundbreaking album, 'The Diabelli Project', released on Deutsche Grammophon. This extraordinary project marks Buchbinder's first collaboration with the esteemed label and coincides with the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth.

In a bold and innovative move, Buchbinder has not only recorded his own interpretation of Beethoven's iconic Diabelli Variations but has also commissioned 12 new variations from contemporary composers, echoing the original story of Anton Diabelli's 1819 composition. The result is a fascinating blend of past and present, as Buchbinder's masterful performance of Beethoven's 33 variations is complemented by eight additional variations from the 52 written by Beethoven's contemporaries, as well as the newly commissioned works.

This double CD album is a testament to Buchbinder's profound understanding of Beethoven's music and his ability to push the boundaries of classical piano. With a duration of 1 hour and 28 minutes, 'The Diabelli Project' is a rich and immersive listening experience that showcases the artist's technical prowess and emotional depth.

Through this project, Buchbinder pays tribute to Beethoven's genius while also highlighting the timelessness of his music. The newly commissioned variations, written by 11 contemporary composers, add a fresh and exciting dimension to the album, demonstrating the ongoing relevance and inspiration of Beethoven's work.

'The Diabelli Project' is a must-listen for classical music enthusiasts and anyone interested in exploring the intersection of tradition and innovation. With its unique blend of historical and contemporary perspectives, this album is a fitting celebration of Beethoven's legacy and a testament to Rudolf Buchbinder's status as one of the world's leading pianists.
