Four Divinities for a Pianist
"Bach is the father, Mozart the son and Schubert the Holy Spirit," once said András Schiff, the Hungarian pianist who is coming on this occasion to Granada to give a recital with music from this great trinity of Western culture. To this, he adds that of another of the composers he has played the most during his career, Beethoven. In his conception of Bachian and classical music, Schiff has always been close to historicist musicians, with whom he has often shared both the stage as well as recording studios. All of this is the ultimate source of versions that always show a balance between structure and affect, focusing more on expression rather than virtuosity, on intimacy rather than exhibitionism. Classic pianism for exquisite palates.
