Featured Artist
András Schiff
So profound is András Schiff’s pianistic ability, according to the New York Times, that “the critic can only throw up his hands, wish you had been there, and quote Ira Gershwin’s enduring tombstone inscription: ‘Words Fail Me.’” Don’t miss this chance to hear a master!
András Schiff is an acknowledged master of Bach, whose recordings are considered definitive and whose annual performances at Britain’s classical music festival the Proms are the stuff of legend. His Mozart is hailed as “immaculate, played with consummate musicality, using a palette of wonderfully translucent colors” (The Guardian).
This legendary artist plays and conducts in this concert of classics that includes a pair of captivating masterworks inspired by folk dances, by Hungarian composers Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály.
