Description:

When it comes to Beethoven's symphonies for solo piano, Liszt's arranged versions are well known, but this album by Vlacheva, known as an authority on improvisation, is based on a completely different concept. All of them are improvised after listening to Beethoven's symphonies, and the way Beethoven's familiar melodies change and develop one after another gives the listener an exhilarating surprise that befits the title "Remember Beethoven". This 2-disc set offers a new way to enjoy Beethoven. Naxos Japan
