(Remember to click your browser's Back button after viewing)

To mark the 10th anniversary of the completion of his acclaimed ABC Classics recordings of the 32 piano sonatas of Beethoven, Gerard Willems has recorded the Diabelli Variations, described as "one of the most important pieces Beethoven ever composed ... and one of the most important piano pieces anyone ever composed".

Willems again chose a magnificent Stuart & Sons piano for this historic recording. This Australian designed and manufactured instrument was Wayne Stuart's latest creation, with two extra octaves for enhanced resonance, producing an unrivalled sound that gives the great composer a unique Australian voice.

This recording also brings down the curtain on Australia's biggest classical music recording project: the 32 piano sonatas and 5 piano concertos of Beethoven regarded as the greatest piano music ever written. Willems commenced this project in 1996. He won 2 ARIA awards for the sonatas, and an international music excellence award for the "Emperor" DVD.

"Listening to the sound Willems produces on the Stuart Piano, you instantly understand that Beethoven didn't write this music to be played on an 1820s instrument." - Brendan Ward, Beethoven Recording Project.
