Deep pathos is constrasted with witty humour, serenity is paired with fleetness of foot, and all these emotions prove that this brilliantly expressive musician is as "unique and unequalled" today as he was when his first briographer, J.N. Forkel, wrote so eloquently about him more than two centuries ago. These performances exemplify perfectly the thoughful and persuasive approach that András Schiff adopts when playing Bach.
