Description
The emotional effect of Beethoven's music on its listeners was enormous at his time: his works were experienced as something completely unheard of and revolutionary.In this recording on a historical fortepiano, the Italian pianist Edoardo Torbianelli explores Beethoven's high ideals and the profound introspection of his music, which are considered essential features of his works. To this end, there is hardly a more suitable work than the Diabelli Variations op. 120, Ludwig van Beethoven's last great piano work, which was written over a period of four years and offers a cross-section of his composition like an anthology. The Bagatelles op. 119 refer to Beethoven's intensive experiences, which served the already deaf musician as a source of inspiration.
