"Schiff [spielt] mit faszinierender Rhetorik, leicht und tänzerisch in den schnellen Sätzen, melancholisch oder auch sehr nachdenklich in den langsamen. [...] Klangphantasie und spontane Inspiration verbinden sich auf ideale Weise." (Pizzicato)
"Schiff’s performance is full of fascinating rhetoric. The fast movements are light and dance-like, while the slow ones are melancholic or even thoughtful. [...] A lot of magination and spontaneous inspiration combine in an ideal way." (Pizzicato)
András Schiff has been closely associated with Lucerne Festival for 35 years. These live recordings from 1998/99, now released for the first time, present him interpreting two masters of the miniature: Schiff performs the short pieces with a love of risk, a great art of characterisation and a tremendous sense of sound.
