András Schiff (Great Pianists of the Century series) - Bach / Mozart / Schubert

Search: Two-Part Invention in F
from: Philips

Release Date May 11, 1999

Andras Schiff has achieved an enviable place among the great pianists of the world. His repertoire is zealously chosen. Take together, his profound intelligence, penetrating vision and the undeniable influence inherited from the master Sandor Vegh, are part of his personal qualities, ver hard to find in these days, where other priorities seem to prevail.

It might be said he belongs to a missed musical tradition, where the sound was part of a language and the final product of a superior vision.

If you want to enjoy and convince by yourself about Schiff's sound, please, be my guest.

Totally recommended.

Bach: Fantasia in C minor; Two-Part Inventions; Three-Part Inventions; Chromatic Fantasia & Fugue

Search: Two-Part Invention in F
from: Hyperion UK

Release Date August 30, 1994
There is a deeply spiritual quality in Bach's music, that brings me closer to heaven every time I listen. This quality is present with such abundance in the Bach of the elderly Arrau and Kempff, that the music reached deeply into my soul and put me into tears at time.

IMHO, it takes a very refined sense of control to balance the multiple voices in Bach's polyphonic keyboard music. On one hand, each line needs to be given its due independence and prominence, and yet, at the same time, together they should sound "at peace" with one another harmonically. Hewitt's playing is usually muddy in the bass lines (as compared to the clarity achieved by Glenn Gould, Arrau or Kempff, the latter two even did it on unmodified pianos). Hewitt's ... Read More:

Archguitar Baroque

Search: Two-Part Invention in F
by: Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, Domenico Scarlatti, Peter Blanchette, Peter Michelini

Release Date October 02, 2001
Masterful transcriptions of mostly Bach works for 2 "archguitars", (which sound very lute-like, but transverse almost a full piano range), unique, exceptionally beautiful tonalities--breathtakingly gorgeous largos--wow! This CD tends to stay on repeat a lot on the CD player for very good reason--it is magnificent.
