Bach Italian Concerto in F major BWV 971
Sir András Schiff
Musical Performance Piano 0Few contemporary pianists have explored the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach as thoroughly and as continuously as Sir András Schiff. Over several years since the opening of the Pierre Boulez Saal, he has presented Bach’s major keyboard composition in a series of concerts here, which comes to a conclusion with a seven-part concert cycle in December and January 2023–24. Combining technical precision with profound historical expertise, Schiff also captivates his audiences with his characteristic humor and enthusiasm when talking about Bach’s music.
Exclusively for Pierre Boulez Saal Online, Sir András Schiff now dedicates a series of video productions to some of Bach’s smaller-scale piano works, including the early Capriccio sopra la lontananza del fratello dilettissimo alongside the well-known Inventions and Sinfonias; each performance is accompanied by an in-depth introduction to these works.
