The music of Johann Sebastian Bach forms a major part of Sir András Schiff’s repertoire, and his Pierre Boulez Saal concerts dedicated to the composer’s music have been among the artistic highlights from the very beginning. Following his two performances of the French Suites in April, he now completes his multiyear cycle with the English Suites, the earliest of Bach’s major collections for keyboard instruments.
