Cederic Tiberghien - Beethoven: Complete Variations for Piano, Vol. 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The present album selected works performed by harpist Laura Newell. InchAmerican harpist Laura Newell was born December 16, 1900 in Denver. She studied harp there with Kajetan Attl, and at New England Conservatory with Alfred Holý. A pioneering orchestral and chamber freelance musician in the male-dominated musical world of the era, she played with the Cleveland Orchestra, National Symphony, and in New York with WOR's Wallenstein Sinfonietta, NBC Symphony, and on radio and television with The Bell Telephone Hour. She recorded the Britten Ceremony of Carols with Robert Shaw for Victor twice, and recorded the Debussy trio for Columbia and Decca. Her recordings with the Shulman brothers - of the Ravel Introduction and Allegro, with the New Friends of Rhythm, and these recordings for their Philharmonia tag - reflect her remarkable versatility, which transcended genres. Her student and close friend, founding editor of the American Harp Journal Sam Milligan, said that she had Inchthe cleanest technique I ever heard.Inch She retired in the early 1970s and devoted her creative activity to painting watercolors, calligraphy and enamels.

In this third volume, Cédric Tiberghien completes his tour of the art of variation in Beethoven and his later avatars. Taking in the experimental daring of Ligeti (Musica ricercata) and the poetic games of Kurtág (Játékok), this sweeping survey is completed with the Diabelli Variations, the absolute peak of Beethoven's piano music.
