Andras SchiffAbout
“András Schiff is probably the most ingenious and resourceful performer of Bach on the modern piano around today” said the San Francisco Chronicle. Schiff’s playing on stage combines spontaneity and intellectual depth, ravishing sound with flawless technical finish.
The Partitas cycle, which in 1731 was the first group of works to be published by Bach himself, represents a unique stylistic synthesis of the suite form, with a particular emphasis on most varied and imaginative opening movements.
Compared with his London studio recording of 1983, this second rendering on disc demonstrates Schiff’s stylistic development towards more freedom, sonic depth and sheer pleasure of phrasing. The pianist’s rather unorthodox sequence of the partitas - 5 – 3 – 1 – 2 – 4 – 6 - draws an ascending line of keys, leading from G major to E minor, and reflects a long experience with the pieces in concert.
