About This Item
Diabelli's popular theme is not only the basis for Beethoven's famous cycle of variations, but also for umpteen variations by Liszt, Schubert, and others. Following up on her acclaimed debut recording, Nami Ejiri opens this quite simply with this very theme. What follows is high pianism refined, virtuosic, sensitive. From her grand piano, Nami lures all that which the aforementioned composers do in the variations, all of the things that enchanted Diabelli's contemporaries. The goal and climax are Beethoven's variations, of course, and with all of her talent Nami makes it clear. Album Tracks 1. Theme 2. Variation 4 3. Variation 16 4. Variation 18 5. Variation 24 6.
