Beethoven was a Catholic but not a very devout Christian. He sympathized with ancient Greek thought, such as Homer and Plato, and also read the Upanishads (a book written in Sanskrit and related to the Vedas, commonly translated as the Upanishads) published in Germany in 1816. It is said that he also immersed himself deeply in Indian philosophy by reading the Upanishads (books related to the Vedas written in Sanskrit, generally translated as \"profound texts\") published in Germany in 1816. The pianist Shani Diluka, who is performing here, was born and raised in Monaco to Sri Lankan parents, and was discovered by Queen Grace of Monaco, who gave her a gifted education. She is a frequent guest at the La Folle Journée Music Festival in Japan, where she captivates audiences with her powerful touch and rich narrative music. In this album, she pays homage to Beethoven by inserting sitar melodies into his masterpieces \"Moonlight Sonata\" and \"Passion Sonata. The result is a unique album that ponders the history of mankind and the mysteries of the universe; the two piano sonatas, \"Moonlight\" and \"Passion,\" are intended as concepts of uplifting beauty that counter Beethoven's idea of death (Heiligenstadt's will).The Indian raga reflects the relationship between earth and heaven. This new sensation is a perfect fusion of Beethoven's sublime spirit and the Indian philosophy colored by the rhythms of nature and time.
