5.0 out of 5 stars Beethoven: Jazz Master!!, January 16, 2005
By 
Sébastien Melmoth (Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beethoven: Diabelli Variations (Audio CD)

Beethoven was a natural master of the variation form of extemporaneous improvisation--which makes him the very first jazzman!

Most critics assert that the Diabelli Variations are the ne plus ultra of Beethoven's variation art. I don't argue this. I can only say that I've always had a little difficulty approaching the Diabelli set; nevertheless, Scherbakov does a great job here, and for the first time I really like the Diabellies. (An earlier recording by Arrau is out of print, I think.)

Plus, for me, Beethoven's wonderful sets of variations on British melodies are two of his best piano sets--especially fine is "God Save the Queen."

Recorded sound is excellent.
