Beethoven Diabelli Variations

Piotr Anderszewski stunned listeners with his recording of the Diabelli Variations, Beethoven’s triumphant offering to the solo piano repertoire. The renowned Polish pianist brings this work to Edinburgh in a live performance that offers perhaps the most complete musical experience possible from one instrument. His recitals are immersive and transcendent; his virtuosity and a singular emotional intensity leave an unforgettable impression of the music he loves. Anderszewski spares no effort in communicating all the vitality, humour and beauty inherent in this composition. The programme is completed by contrasting the Variations with Bach’s piano compositions: three beautiful preludes and fugues from The Well-Tempered Clavier, and the sublime English Suite No 3.
