Andras Schiff has achieved an enviable place among the great pianists of the world. His repertoire is zealously chosen. Take together, his profound intelligence, penetrating vision and the undeniable influence inherited from the master Sandor Vegh, are part of his personal qualities, ver hard to find in these days, where other priorities seem to prevail. It might be said he belongs to a missed musical tradition, where the sound was part of a language and the final product of a superior vision. If you want to enjoy and convince by yourself about Schiff's sound, please, be my guest. Totally recommended.
