about this album
This album could be described as "Beethoven through the lens of other composers". After her acclaimed complete recording of Beethoven’s piano sonatas, Mari Kodama returns with a programme consisting of Ludwig van Beethoven string quartets transcribed for piano by Camille Saint-Saëns, Mussorgsky and Balakirev, as well as Beethoven’s variations on the finale of Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet. Most pieces are recorded for the first time. Kaleidoscope is designed as a homage, considering and experiencing Beethoven through the lens of other great composers.
