Sir András Schiff at the Winspear

Recitals by pianist Sir András Schiff are always some of the most eagerly awaited events, and he continues to find new ways to dazzle audiences. His well-publicized reliability for greatness—he “commands international respect as a paragon of refinement and musical integrity”—sometimes overshadows the fact that he “has an impish streak and likes to surprise” (The New York Times). Schiff’s recitals highlight both sides of this artistry, balancing encyclopedic mastery and interpretive curiosity to offer new perspective on the piano repertoire’s greatest works.
