Sir Andr谩s Schiff piano
Beethoven鈥檚 piano sonatas, says Sir Andr谩s Schiff, 鈥榟ave lost none of their relevance and freshness鈥�. In Schiff鈥檚 hands, every new encounter with these great but deeply human works 鈥� the so-called 鈥楴ew Testament鈥� of the piano repertoire 鈥� reveals new depths of character and meaning. According to The Guardian, his interpretations of the late sonatas, in particular, 鈥榮weep all before them鈥�, and that鈥檚 what he鈥檒l be playing today: Beethoven鈥檚 final trilogy of sonatas, music of wild imagination, profound tenderness and sudden, piercing beauty.
