Igor Levit - Bach Beethoven Rzewski

Limited triple CD set in slipcase. With the success of his first two albums, Igor Levit has emerged as one of the leading pianists of our time. Bach-Beethoven-Rzewski features three of the greatest sets of keyboard variations. The album features Bach's Goldberg Variations and Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, long considered acid tests of the performer's art, along with Frederic Rzewski's The People United Will Never Be Defeated, based on the Chilean revolutionary song ¡El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido!, that has the reputation of being nearly unplayable.
