This is a great mystery series, very long episodes, though. I just finished S1.

What is this, I hear you think. The answer is Suite 11b. But what is that?

I suspect this isn't the thread you were aiming for.

I see there is a Suite No. 11 for piano (1956) and Fabrizio Ottaviucci is a pianist so I guess it's not like a "b" version of Berio's Sequenza pieces where it's been changed for a different instrument.

Thanks, I moved it.

From Decca's listing

With over one billion streams worldwide, Víkingur Ólafsson is one of the most listened-to classical artists of our time. Following the global success of his Grammy®-winning recording of the Goldberg Variations, the Icelandic pianist now presents his latest album: Opus 109. At its heart is Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 30 in E major, Op. 109, a masterpiece of the composer's late period, which Víkingur places in an illuminating and musically thrilling temporal dialogue, tracing the lineages that converge on this beloved beacon of the piano literature.

That'll be an instant buy for me, but he could have just called it the E Album. And what's with that final track, I wonder...

[Todd]

With over one billion streams worldwide, Víkingur Ólafsson is one of the most listened-to classical artists of our time.

At least the erstwhile classical majors have finally caught up to the mid 2010s for pop music in terms of cited metrics.  Alas, Ólafsson is but a blip in the streaming world.

[Todd]

Oh, hell yeah!

I see there is a Suite No. 11 for piano (1956) and Fabrizio Ottaviucci is a pianist so I guess it's not like a "b" version of Berio's Sequenza pieces where it's been changed for a different instrument.

Well Sabine Liebner recorded Suite 11 and I can say for sure that what she did sounds nothing like what Fabrizio Ottaviucci does. Try and hear these, they're interesting and show once again how important Scelsi is (like an anticipation of Galina Ustvolskaya.)
