DIABELLI VARIATIONS

Filippo Gorini (piano)

De jonge pianist Filippo Gorini trad in de schijnwerpers met de Eerste Prijs van het Telekom Beethoven Concours. Mentor Alfred Brendel is lovend over de muzikaliteit van zijn leerling. Concerten brachten het jonge talent al naar het Gewandhaus in Leipzig, de Herkulessaal in München en de Laeiszhalle in Hamburg. Nu is zijn debuut-cd met Beethovens "Diabelli-variaties" verkrijgbaar op het ALPHA-label.

Beethoven:
 Diabelli Variations, Op. 120

"It is easy to hear why Filippo Gorini should have won the 2015 Telekom Beethoven Competition at the age of 20..Everything in his recording of the Diabelli Variations shows musical awareness and technical aplomb at a high level of fusion…Never is there a whiff of tastelessness, over-statement or superficiality in Gorini’s playing."
Gramophone Magazine - October 2017

"This is, it soon becomes evident, one of the great interpretations of one of Beethoven’s most invigorating, far-ranging and finally ethereal works…Gorini is as alive as anyone to the humour in the work, which overstressed can get tiresome on repeated hearings, but which this pianist realises is more demonic than merely jovial or surprising."
