I needed to play music that demanded so much power, strength, perseverance, endless dives into the music, with great technical challenges. Music that really pushes the envelope, beyond where you think it must end. I had to feel the passion, the great deep emotions, the vulnerability, and most important: the power. Reclaiming the control of unused muscles, strength and love. You could say that my life got the perfect soundtrack.'\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe publisher and composer Anton Diabelli invited his fellow composers of 1819 Vienna to write a variation on his own little waltz. Beethoven turned the proposition down, only to reconsider and write not one variation, but thirty-three! In 2015 Ingrid Andsnes invited composer and curator Lars Petter Hagen to add a cadenza to Beethoven's set of variations. Employing EBows on the strings of the piano to haunting effect, this cadenza replaces the short Poco Adagio before variation 33 in the present recording.\u003c\/p\u003e \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIngrid Andsnes (born in 1978) is a highly accomplished pianist and one of Norway's most endearingly passionate musicians. She studied with Joan Havill at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama and, like her brother Leif Ove, with Jiri Hlinka at Barratt Due Institute of Music in Oslo. She has collaborated with the finest of Norway's musicians, among them Solveig Kringelborn, Arve Tellefsen, H\\xe5vard Gimse and The Norwegian Soloist Choir. In 2013 she played Beethoven's monumental Diabelli Variations in the play '33 Variations' by Mois\\xe9s Kaufman, staged at Det Norske Teateret in Oslo.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'On this impressive recording, Ms. Andsnes brings clarity, rhythmic \\xe9lan and a touch of quirky playfulness to this demanding, audacious yet often humorous work.' - New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Ingrid Andsnes (piano)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLudwig van Beethoven: Thirty-Three Variations on a Waltz by Diabelli, Op. 120, Tema.
