Igor Levit’s album “Bach, Beethoven, Rzewski” (Sony Classical) won the acclaimed ‘Recording of the Year’ at the Gramophone Awards 2016. Now, Sony Classical brings these three major works, Bach’s Goldberg Variations, Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations, and Frederic Rzewski’s Variations on “The People United Will Never Be Defeated” separately on one disc. Levit comes with great pedigree when it comes to recording the works of J.S. Bach as he recorded Bach’s Six Partitas (which won Gramophone recording on the month) in 2014 before embarking on this project.
