Beethoven in New York

Uri Caine piano
sinfonia ViVA

Uri Caine New short piece for chamber orchestra
Beethoven Grosse Fugue
Mozart Piano Sonata in C (1st movement)
Beethoven / Caine Diabelli Variations UK Premiere

Formidable, internationally renowned New York jazz pianist / composer Uri Caine boldly reconstructs Beethoven’s transcendent Diabelli Variations, recasting the familiar melodies in revealing and surprising ways.

True to Beethoven from beginning to end, Caine combines penetrating, virtuosic improvisations on the piano with a fully realised performance by the excellent sinfonia ViVA: the orchestra faithful to Beethoven's letter, the piano faithful to the spirit.

Brilliant and illuminating, these lovingly performed ‘variations upon variations’ will impress open-minded classical and jazz enthusiasts alike.
