West Cork Chamber Music Festival 2021 (4/4)
John Toal introduces pianist C茅dric Tiberghien performing Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, recorded at the 13th-century Abbaye Royaumont near Paris.
John Toal introduces the final programme from the 2021 West Cork Chamber Music Festival.
Today鈥檚 recital was recorded at the 13th-century Abbaye Royaumont just north of Paris in the Oise Valley, and it features just one piece and one musician.
Former Radio 3 New Generation Artist, C茅dric Tiberghien, performs Beethoven's extraordinary Diabelli Variations. This huge set of 33 variations is based on a simple waltz written by the Viennese publisher Anton Diabelli: a work which occupied Beethoven for four years. Lasting just under an hour, it effortlessly moves from light to darkness, with moments of tenderness humour and virtuosity.
