András Schiff (piano)

Live recording from Zurich’s Town Hall, produced by Manfred Eicher

“András Schiff leads the pack of top pianists recording Beethoven sonatas. His touch with these middle-period works is revelatory…” (Album of the Week, The Independent)

“The crowning glory in this fifth volume of András Schiff's resonantly recorded, chronological survey of the Beethoven sonatas is his urgently propelled Waldstein Sonata. Schiff clearly views this work as the piano equivalent to the Eroica Symphony, and uses maximum dynamic and textural contrast to emphasis its almost orchestral nature. ” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 ****
