Yes, this set of variations has captured my heart. It's astonishing that LvB did not give them an opus #. Usually WoO suggests they are not up to par with others he wrote. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Beautiful. I would however like to have amplification applied to the piano. I found it to be somewhat subdued compared to the strings in this particular recording. I understand the volume levels in a certain environment can be challenging to balance but like a more forceful stronger piano sound applied for example at the 9 minutes time interval in this recording. Nicely done overall.
