It's free! Save it. Andras Schiff got up the nose of Le Monde during the 1997 Salzburg Festival. First it was sartorial. "His dress is old-fashioned, the revers of his lapels are in black velvet, a watch chain completes the ensemble." Then personal. The Hungarian "poses as a personage, a great master of the piano". And finally it was musical. "The left hand disappears in a halo of pedal, the tempo shifts, the right hand sounds too loudly..." Edinburgh Festival audiences will have the chance to umpire. Is Schiff the personable, unassuming guide to the Austro-German musical tradition we have always taken him to be? Or does he play too loud? At the Usher Hall the pianist will play, probably quite delicately, the six Bach Partitas. The week after he will perform and direct from the piano, in something of a feat, four Mozart piano concertos plus the Quintet for Piano and Winds before doing something similar but entirely different a couple of nights later. The French critic sighs predictably. Schiff is "insatiable", he has already written. He is a "bulimic" of the piano.

24. Goldberg Variations By Andras Schiff At Jsbach.org The Hungarian pianist andras schiff s approach to Bach s music is light anddelicate, as displayed in this version of the Goldberg Variations. http://www.jsbach.org/schiffgoldbergvariations.html

Goldberg Variations Main Performer or Conductor: Andras Schiff Instrumentation: Piano Individual Works: Goldberg Variations, BWV Format: Compact Disc Record Label: London Catalog Number: Year Released/Recorded: Total Playing Time: Comments: Jan Hanford This ranks as on of the most astonishing piano recordings I have ever heard. Andras Schiff manages to make a piano sound as delicate as a harpsichord. He makes intelligent and musical choices in his interpretation. When playing the repeats he often adds ornamentation or, in a couple cases, plays and octave higher or an octave lower. My only complaint about the cd is it is divided into 6 tracks, and each variation is not indexed. Of all the recordings of the Goldberg Variations I've heard, this is my favourite. Note: This particular edition is out of print but has been reissued on Penguin Classics. Freddie Sng said: The Hungarian pianist Andras Schiff's approach to Bach's music is light and delicate, as displayed in this version of the Goldberg Variations. Under his hands, the piano retains its sonority and tone colour, and the set of variations flow with fluidity. He observes all repeats faithfully but is still able to capture the entire piece in one CD. A thoroughly enjoyable performance. As always in the case of Decca, the digital recording is outstandingly vivid and realistic. Ricky Der said: A splendid recording of the Goldberg Variations by one of the most inspired Bach players today. Schiff always finds a way to bring out the highest subtleties, and with great imagination. For instance, you will notice that he does not perform the repeats literally, but will vary in the repeat small figurations - a chord played broken starting from the top note will be played in reverse sequence in the repeat.

The occasion was the Carmel Music Society's fifth concert of its 1997-98 season. A second disappointment was the debut of the Society's new Hamburg Steinway concert grand that arrived one week earlier by airfreight from Paris where it had been selected by French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. Thibaudet was featured on the Society's concert series the previous season as assisting pianist to violinist Joshua Bell. We had all hoped that the piano would be a "dream" instrument enhancing every note of a visiting artist. In fact, it is only a good instrument, not a great one. Its Renner action is velvety smooth, as we might expect from that great manufacturer of piano actions. The piano's sound, however, is distinctly neutral, cold and glassy, rather like a Yamaha concert grand. The low bass octaves, normally the crown jewels of a good concert grand, sound more like that a of seven-foot, rather than a nine-foot piano. The tenor and treble of the instrument are clear, but without a distinctive aura. Curiously enough, the Carmel Music Society's fifty-year-old New York Steinway concert grand that the Society recently sold for approximately $30,000 had all the qualities that the new instrument lacks. But, what we

Schiff may be sometimes demanding, sometimes austere in his programming, but the clear implication behind all his recitals is that he – and his colleagues, where appropriate – are to be regarded as mediators with the masters, not primarily as personalities in their own right. This can lead to a certain emotional coolness, which in itself may be inspiring, especially when coupled with intellectual perspicacity – a wonderful performance of Bach’s ‘Goldberg Variations’ I heard a couple of years ago in Brussels remains one of my most treasured concert experiences. Recently in London Schiff has chosen to promote the chamber music of Janacek, and the recital at the Wigmore Hall on the 28th featured two of the composer’s major piano pieces, the surviving movements of the sonata

Our first offering is Bach's Keyboard Concerto No. 2, which Schiff performs with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. You can hear them live at Carnegie Hall on April 27th, playing both Bach and Mendelssohn. Evening Music's last hour features Schiff playing solo piano in Janacek's "In the Mist," disguising its severe technical demands with his unfettered artistry. Before that, Pianist Keith Jarrett and the American Composers Orchestra under Dennis Russell Davies illuminate Alan Hovhaness's "Lousadzak," whose name means, roughly, "dawn of light." Then we hear Davies conduct the Radio Symphony Orchestra of Vienna in "The Light," Philip Glass's evocation of light waves and particles, written to commemorate the 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment, which demonstrated that—regardless of the motion of the observer—the speed of light remains the same.
