Interview
András Schiff in conversation with Jonathan Kelly András Schiff plays Bach, Mozart and Haydn
In the words of one critic, András Schiff is “a magician of sound who breathes life into works, and who upholds the almost forgotten ideal of piano playing”. As soloist and conductor, he performed two thought-provoking D minor piano concertos by Bach and Mozart as well as the no less dark Military Symphony by Joseph Haydn, works which time and again are interrupted by the horrors of war.
