Willems,Gerard Diabelli Variations CD

We present here to the world Variations of no ordinary type, but a great and important masterpiece worthy to be ranked with the imperishable creations of the old Classics. the publisher of the Diabelli Variations was clear in expressing the exceptional nature of this work, and it should by no means be considered an exaggeration. Following the highly acclaimed Beethoven cycle which received two ARIA awards for best classical albums in 1999 and 2000, Gerard Willems returns to the Australian-built Stuart & Sons piano to perform for this landmark recording. Also included is Beethoven's well-known 'F?r Elise', and 'Andante Favori'.
