Master Pianists: András Schiff plays Beethoven, Brahms and Bach

Lo spettacolo

Revel in the effortless mastery of one of the world's truly great pianists. Schiff has ranked among the greatest exponents of his art for many years, and brings decades of experience and deepening interpretation to a concert of Fantasias and far away lands.

Perhaps less immediately‐recognisable than Mendelssohn's 'Scottish' Symphony, the composer's Sonate Écossaise shares the musical hallmarks of the symphonic work, and is one of the finest virtuoso works for the piano by the composer. Beethoven's Sonata 'For Thérèse', Brahms' complex miniatures -'Seven Fantasias' and 'Eight Piano Pieces', and Bach's 'Sixth English Suite' — an odd title for a thoroughly‐international collection of dances — complete an enchanting program.
