Grande pianista, um concerto para não ser esquecido.
Great musician, Sir András Schiff. Wonderful recital. Thank you.
Wonderful! (And beautifully recorded, too)
Like hearing these pieces for the first time – such beauty, such a wealth of discoveries in every phrase. As if the composers were playing themselves. What’s the secret? Perhaps that Andras Schiff respects every note and deeply reveres these composers. Worshipping God in these human creations.
Gentle, tender fingers as always. Wonderful playing
