"Five Stars ... both discs are enthralling ... Schiff's account is revelatory."
- The Guardian
"Editor's Choice ... the discography of the Diabelli Variations is already distinguished but here’s a remarkable addition to it ... throughout (Schiff) delights with insights and a feast of fine playing, excellently recorded; his focus on the music never wavers ... an impressive achievement."
- Gramophone
András Schiff recorded these remarkable, contrasting versions of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations on two period instruments: for his first reading, Schiff employs an original Bechstein grand from 1921, while the second version is played on a Hammerflügel fortepiano from Beethoven's own day. As a result, Schiff provides a unique opportunity to compare the rich range of two very different sonic universes, a world apart from modern day instruments. The Diabelli Variations are considered a magnum opus of the piano repertoire, a towering contribution to the genre and an entire encyclopedia of pianism unto itself.
