Andras Schiff eine unfassbar kompetente Persönlichkeit. In tiefster Dankbarkeit und Demut - Dankeschön.

[sophie-grace]

What a wonderful instrument this Boesendorfer is.

[drpangloss]

Andras Schiff is a musical magician, pedagogue and a deep thinker.
Bravo Maestro!

Sie Andras Schiff ist ein Ausnahmenpianist, seine Konzerte, in denen er moderiert sind einzigartig, lehrreich und somit sehr besonders. Dieser Mann besteht mit jeder Zelle seines Körpers aus Musik, er lebt Musik, atmet Musik ist umgeben von einer ganz besonderen Aura.

[Rasputin]

Einfach wunderbar
Andras ist nur ein Monat öfter als ich und dennoch für mich DIE musikalische Vaterfigur. Danke auf immer

[Eudaimonia]

Absolutely astonishing. Bach, Mozart and Schiff: what a mesmerising experience.

[Capajazz]

So great to see classical musicians talking to an audience and explaining things, reaching out to an audience rather then the usual walking on stage, playing and walking off. Formality sets a cold and unnatural mood to a concert. Thanks Andras Schiff for your great performances and dedication!

[shin-i-chikozima]

No performance is as interesting and intriguing and captivating as Schiff

El MAESTRO Andras Schiff es el Arte musical mismo y con una incomparable modestia y virtuosismo musical.

[sheilanovitz]

Very glad this is now on YouTube! Thank you. Yesterday I re-listened to the concert from the Saanen church, and wished everyone could hear it. You are a most enterprising person!

[musikalischesopfer]

I heard live, in February, Maestro Schiff, playing ricercare and then, immediately after, the Mozart Fantasia in a grosse Bach-Mozart recital which lasted (mid interval included) 3 hours. How funny Chopin quoted (in his first ballade) Mozart who was quoting Bach!

[ZoltanTemesvari_temy]

Good to see that Maestro is not so dogmatic anymore against pedal use in Bach.

[nickk]

The Mozart was the most beautiful I've ever heard. Everything was sublime about it. It's now my go to.

[marioduparc]

Quel prodigieux Artiste Vous êtes, Sir Schiff...Au Service des Géants qui ont fait la Musique Classique;...! Dans vos exemples entre Bach et Mozart, à l'écoute, nous ressentons une mélancholie chez Trazom, alors que Bach reste dans le domaine mathématique pur...Avec Mozart on voit poindre le Romantisme, avec cet Aspect du Sturm und Drank...Les Musicologues l'avaient déjà dit mais ici, nous avons l'illustration sonore ...Merci ;, Sir...!

[arindo]

The things he taught are really important and interesting for sure. Here, Andras Schiff plays so so well that I lost focus on the subject many times. Every single note has intention and weight, yet they all flow together in a smooth and cohesive way.

[ProdigyImprovisation]

I was not expecting Andras Schiff to play that good! Maybe he matured the older he got. I mean that as a compliment! Cause not all pianists age the correct way.

[dlvanderpeet]

What joy to watch and listen! Wonderful.

[janbonsema]

Mstro. Schiff goes into the firebreathing mode with those ´s. I hadn't heard anybody do that before. It works. It works, impressively.

[AnonYmous-ryjn]

I would prefer to hear the Ricercar a 6, but this is unquestionably wonderful. Bravo and thank you Mr. Schiff!
