Igor Levit - Bach, Beethoven, Rzewski

Trzy płytowy box, będący kontynuacją poprzednich albumów artysty („Beethoven - The Late Piano Sonatas” oraz „Bach – Partitas”), dzięki którym pianista zdobył uznanie światowej krytyki muzycznej. Obecny zestaw zawiera kolejne „wielkie” pozycje światowej literatury pianistycznej: Wariacje Goldbergowskie Bacha, Wariacje na temat Diabellego Beethovena oraz utwór Frederica Rzewskiego – „The People United Will Never Be Defeated”.

Levit jet zdobywcą licznych nagród : w 2013 roku otrzymał nagrodę BBC Music Magazine, w 2014 Newcomer of The Year. W tym samym roku the Royal Philharmonic Society's Young Artist Award, oraz nagrodę ECHO 2014 w kategorii Solowe Nagranie Roku.

Jego nagranie 6 Pertit Jana Sebastiana Bacha zostało uhonorowane nagrodą magazynu Gramophone - Disc of the Month.
