Rudolf Serkin's classic 1957 recording of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations sounds more vibrant and powerfully projected than ever in this remastered edition. Not only do the fine mono sonics improve upon the CBS Portrait reissue, but now each variation has its own track, whereas the earlier CD incarnation provided only one access point for the entire work. Serkin's angular pianism is alive to every startling subito dynamic, every harmonic surprise, every rhythmic quirk, plus every inflection that helps intensify the music's inner rhythmic workings and transitions between variations.
