Sir Andras Schiff returns for the final installment of his in-depth explorations of the final sonatas of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. Unquestionably at the pinnacle of his artistry, Schiff brings his superior intellectual and technical gifts to "extraordinary and intense" (The Guardian, UK) interpretations of the mature and emotionally profound works of these composers.
Cf, a world-renowned and critically acclaimed pianist, conductor, pedagogue and lecturer, was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1953. Mr. Schiff started piano lessons at the age of five with Elisabeth Vadasz and continued his musical studies at the Ferenc Liszt Academy with Professor Pal Kadosa, Gyorgy Kurtag and Ferenc Rados, and in London with George Malcolm.
Indisputably one of the most prominent proponents of the keyboard works of J.S. Bach, Vhas long proclaimed that Bach stands at the core of his music making. Over the past two seasons, Sir Andras Schiff performed The Bach Project, comprised of six recitals and a week of the orchestral music of Bach, Schumann and Mendelssohn. The Project was performed with the San Francisco Symphony, LA Philharmonic, and the New York Philharmonic. Repertoire for The Bach Project recitals included The Complete Partitas and The Goldberg Variations and Sir Andras Schiff final recitals in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Toronto, and New York will feature a unique program with Beethoven's Diabelli Variations following the Goldberg Variations. Sir Andras Schiff played this monumental program in London's Wigmore Hall to celebrate his 60th birthday.
This evenings program will include:
HAYDN: Sonata in E-flat Major, Hob. XVI/52 MOZART: Sonata No. 18 in D Major, K. 576 BEETHOVEN: Sonata No. 32 in B minor, Op. 111 SCHUBERT: Sonata in B-flat Major, D. 960
