BARTOK: Piano Music – 14 Bagatelles; 2 Romanian Dances; 15 Hungarian Peasant Songs; Improv. on Hungarian Peasant Songs; Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm (from Mikrokosmos) – Terry Eder, p. – MSR Classics
Beautiful playing, shedding a different light on an often-maligned composer.
BEETHOVEN: 33 Variations on a Waltz by Diabelli, Op. 120 – Paul Lewis, piano – Harmonia mundi BEETHOVEN: Various Sonatas incl. "Moonlight" – Markus Schirmer, piano – Tacet
Two recordings highlight works from the beginning and end of Beethoven’s career as a piano composer. One is let down by a wrongheaded performance.
BEETHOVEN: 33 Variations in C on a Waltz by Diabelli, Op. 120; 6 Bagatelles, Op. 126 – Gary Cooper, fortepiano – Channel Classics
Interpretively, Cooper’s Diabelli Variations is fine, but I have issues with the instrument he’s chosen.
