Building Bridges, slotconcert András Schiff

A concert by András Schiff is almost a religious experience, with Schiff as the high priest of music. His performances of Bach are heavenly. Schiff considers Bach to be the very greatest composer. Which is why he consistently restricts himself to composers who are in one way or another related to Bach. Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Bartók all pass the test. They have the same sense of polyphony, clarity and frugality. Not one note too many. And Schiff should know. He has been exploring these composers' keyboard oeuvres all his life and performs them with an extraordinary richness of sound. An endless palette of light and shade, served by phenomenal technique. If there is one concert you must not miss, this is it!
