Iam 50 and never see a disc like this: 68m45s of masterful playing Diabelli in a great Steinway Hamburg model D, with Beethoven's historic tuning, one of the bests SACD recordings I have, bilingual 173 pages booklet, lots of photos and low price (in Brasil). I do not know was so good classical pianists in my country. How this was made? Seems with DIY, the Pianist Marco Alcantara also was the producer, booklet English and Portuguese writer, recorded at an Catholic University in Sao Paulo-Brasil in July2004. If Amazon is out of stock see the SuiGenerisMusic.com.br site, they do not sell, but inform who are selling this item. Wishing a complete box set of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas to follow up this nice release. Not bad for a first 001 release of this new Label. Iam hard to please, but have to give Five Stars to performance and recording(stereo).

Interesting conception of Beethoven by the cover artist.

He looks like he got his hearing back, Carl told him he really does love him, and the "immortal beloved" finally came across, all on the same day.

Yes, this SACD is Stereo only. As the score is a solo work there is nothing to put at the rear speakers and the recording was a minimalist Stereo.
I like this disc as it is the only Diabelli recording with 17 bonus tracks (8m30s) of Beethoven's sketches for the work.
