Listened to him yesterday. The audience didn't let him go and he played 5 encores! The last one was the first movement of this concerto. And it was as perfect as he played it in this recording 10 years ago.
@@MichaelTLam He started with Bach French Suite 5, the he played Haydn sonata in g minor, Mozart sonata in E flat major, Beethoven Tempest sonata and Schubert sonata (I don't remember which one exactly) and sonata "Z ulice" by Leos Janacek
Peter Anon : YES!!! Heard him say recently that music should be considered “as a privilege and a gift, not a job.” And, when asked what music is to him, he replied, “Everything! Communication, love...”
Johann Sebestian Bach was born during 1685 and died in 1750 at Leipzig. He was born to a family of musicians (all which were relatively well known before his birth) in a town named Eisenach which was in Northern Germany. His was the 8th and last child to Johann Ambrusis Bach, a director to the town musicians who taught him the Violin. Other notable family members included his second cousin, Johann Ludwig Bach, who was relatively known in that time and would help Bach with some of his Cantatas. Other notable family members include Johann Christpoher Bach; his uncle who introduced him to the Organ, an instrument that Bach wrote for primarily when he was the Court Organist to the Duke of Weimar and his brother, Johann Christopher Bach who taught him the clavichord and exposed him to mainstream music of that time. When Bach was 10, his parents died (His father dying 8 months after his mother) leaving him to be orphaned by his brother. During this time he would study, perform and copy music although this was forbidden as blank ledger lines that time were expensive. His brother would introduce him to German Composers such as Pachabel (whom he studied from), Italian Composers such as Vivaldi and French Composers. Bach then moved to Luneburg to study at St Michael's School where he learnt Theology, French, Greek and Italian. Being in St Michael's school gave Bach the opportunity to play the harpsichord, sing in the choir and also expose himself to European Culture. In 1703, Bach moved to Weimar to become the Court Organist to the Duke of Weimar. During this time, he expanded his organ works. Another thing that expanded was his fame. Infact, a church was named after him now called, "Bach's Church" which had an Organ with an extended range. Although his fame spread, Bach had poor working conditions and he probably had to do un-related menial duties. He hated his choir. In fact he would call them names and insult them to the point that one of the members chased him with a stick. When Bach reported this incident, the Law wasnt on his side. Bach's run ins with the law extended up to the point that before he moved to Leipzig, he was jailed In 1706, Bach got a Job at Blausis' Church in Mulhausen. It is notbale that before he got the job there, he performed an early version of his Cantata, 'Christ's Lag in Todd's Banden'. During this time his work condition and choir was beter. He got married to Mary Barbara and even managed to convince the council to renovate the Organ which was costly but in celebration, he wrote a festive Cantata. In 1708, Bach moved back to Weimar to become the Director of the Ducal Court in which he had 7 children. 2 didn't live for a year and one of them was the famous Classical Composer, " Emannuel Bach." During this time he also learnt how to write dramatic openings which was influenced by the Italians. Bach really liked the Italian style in which you have a Solo and Orchestra alternating in movements. He would transcript Vivaldi's, Tourrelli's and Courelli's music from string to Keyboard. This was also the era when he composed his Prelude and Fugues which included the famous Well Tempered Clavier. In 1717, Bach was the keppellmeister or Director of Music to Prince Leopold who was a big fan of his work. In this time period, he started writing a lot of Cantatas and his Orchestral and Cello Suites which made sense as this was when his influence of dance music was greater than his influence of Italian Music Finally, in 1723 he moved to Leipzig where he wrote over 300 cantatas until his death in 1750. Summary: His Influences were the Italians for their dramatic openings, Georg Bohm, his Organ teacher, His brother and Dance Music And yes I know you didnt ask but yohu had to know cuz you are stooped Type a message
Last summer I decided I would play Bach every day for one year. I have one more fugue, 3 more Toccatas, and then this lovely piece to finish. OK, so I may go a little over. Someone once asked Brahms where they should start learning music. He said, "Study Bach; everything is there."
Senza togliere nulla ad altre interpretazioni altrettante valide questa ha una marcia in più. Tocco leggero e dinamico, semplicemente meraviglioso. Grande maestro. Ascoltarlo e riascoltarlo è un piacere dell'animo. Grazie
Really, is there a pianist more fun to watch than Andras Schiff? He is just so relaxed and at one with the piano, and he is such a finger ninja! And his interpretations are just so spot on, direct and unencumbered. It's like he's channelling Bach.
One can only appreciate the immense variety of techniques used (legato, semi-legato, staccato, semi-staccato), the fact that he plays with such multi-faceted dynamics without even touching the pedal and the full respect of baroque spirit that he shows. Thanks, Maestro Schiff.
Currently learning this, and my conservatory teacher keeps telling me that I do it incorrectly, and I should be "less strict" when playing Bach. I honestly didn't really know what he meant, until I heard this. I had been so focused on the correct notes and melody that I honestly forgot about the whole meaning of this piece..Thanks master Schiff for reminding me :)
Three years later…..Me too. I was learning the last movement but found it hard to get it up to the speed of Andras’s because I didn’t want to sacrifice the voicings. I do love Rosalind Tureck’s interpretation though. See what you think.
Listening to classical music is a way to connect with history and cultural heritage. I feel like I'm traveling through time when enjoying classical works.
That's it. Best Bach interpreter ever. We can feel his infinite admiration and respect for this music in the way he keeps it simple and unadorned. The music in itself has everything it needs, he just makes his best not to get in the way. This may seem like an easy task, but I'd say it's the ultimate display of mastery. To me, that's exactly what Bach's music demands.
While he is an excellent Bach interpreter, I cannot agree he is the best Bach interpreter ever. That title undoubtedly goes to Glenn Gould.

@@georgeklein6363 That's your opinion. I think Schiff is much better than that growling caveman hahaha Just kidding, I respect Gould too. But in my opinion, Bach requires more sophistication. Gould will never reach the heights Sir Schiff reaches. There's just too much ego and atitudes that get in the way.
Superb. Andras Schiff is master of his craft, supremely confident and in control, loving every minute of it. Bach would have been impressed if he had heard him play this piece.
Удивительная по красоте музыка и роскошное исполнение! Хочется слушать и слушать, прислушиваться и внимать ! Ассоциации со стихами Александра Сергеевича Пушкина: такое же знание жизни, широта понимания красоты мира, его звучания!
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Italian Concerto, BWV 971 00:03 I. *[without tempo indication]* 03:44 II. Andante 08:12 III. Presto 11:42 *Applause* Andras Schiff, piano Bachfest 2010 *Protestant Reformed Church of Leipzig* *Leipzig, Germany*
The complex game in a simple way. Not over nor underplayed. Just what’s needed to render homage to the astonishing composer. In fact, a leader pianist of our times. A reference to me in moments of doubt.....
Terzo movimento un vero inno alla gioia. Le due mani suonano motivi diversi che si inseguono , si allontanano e poi si intrecciano , in un ritmo irrefrenabile che agisce su ogni fibra del nostro corpo. È una gioia.
Just the right about of rubato and playfulness and creative liberty while staying so true to the music as Bach wrote it. I teared up at the last movement.
I love how expressive he is! His use of hand balance is quite good. I'm learning the first movement, and it is a fun piece to learn and play while simultaneously being quite tricky with trying to build the fingerings into muscle memory.
I have listened many times to a CD of Brendel placing this piece, but Schiff's playing is a revelation. He shows me some beautiful bass lines that were always there before. ❤❤❤
I love everything about András Schiff , especially his musicianship and his happiness in it. Thank you a million times for uploading this gorgeous performance.
This is a wonderful piece of music. What a beautiful interpretation. Remind that this piece of music was written for cembalo, and its hard to give the correct expression on piano. But Mr. Schiff elevated it on a new level of joy.
I must have watched this video 100 times. Everything on it is really enticing. Mr Schiff's playing is just plain impeccable. The third movement is pure joy and he's actually enjoying the music he is playing. Also the audience seems to be well aware of how magnificent and unique what they are witnessing is. Very good
@@bigred8438 Schiff makes justice to the idea of playing Bach on the modern piano. Actually one of those very small handful of pianists whom I can imagine would make Bach happy with their interpretations on the "Hammerklavier" he was so disappointed with in his life... Poor Maestro Cristofori, if only he could've known...
I needed something Baroque for my music appreciation playlist. I remembered the Italian Concerto as one of my longtime favorites. I found Schiff's performance, and I am amazed at how good it is. He clearly loves what he it doing, and does it so well.
I spent three years chasing Schiff to follow his cycle of Beethoven’s complete sonata. Then one year for Bach (for those who remember). It was an arduous long journey but it’s worth it. He insisted that when playing Bach, one should never use any pedals because they were not invented at Bach’s time. I always remember that...
In my opinion I think most performers use too much pedal in Mozart and Beethoven because the way I understand it the pedal was a special effect, to get orchestra effects, for example... The lagato playing was achieved by finger technique.Now players use the pedal for lagato
@@tombombadyl4535 probably, since he used all the instrumental resources available vto him. However, *would is a modal auxiliary verb in the subjunctive mood ( statement of what is not the case). That is what actually happened..
@@tombombadyl4535 yeah..I can agree that it is not..I just think it should be used with caution and not with the same affectation of composers like Chopin and Rachmaninoff
Bach would probably disagree and say that all the good things that inspired him came from his God, the skies, the rains, the trees, the rivers, the fields, the stars, the mathematics, the geometry, and most of all Christ, his savior. Everything else is just stuff. His music was just a way for him to express the beauty he found in God and Christ. The ultimate creative power who built this house we call Earth and the Universe. And the One he Sent so that when he looks at us he doesn't have to see our sin. When we repent in the name of Christ, God looks down on us from Heaven in the same light of Christ resurrected, which i can attest, is too blinding and perfect to see or think of sin in.. so in Christ we are made perfect. In listening to Bach it is like music was made perfect.
@@SereneJudo well he is the only Living God that has the ability to forgive sins on Earth. Through his eternally perfect spirit all things were made, both visible and invisible. it's not about us loving him. it is about him loving us. he loved us so much that he bore death so that no man could reign supreme over you with guilt, fear and shame. he was so kind as to fulfill the law of moses in his perfect spirit, as a human and God, only to give to you as a free gift of salvation. so yes, even if you are not worshiping Jesus, you are worshiping him in falsehood, or worse, trampling on his cross, whereas the Father prefers spirit and truth. i was loved by him after doing much sin. i don't know that i am loved by Yeshua jesus christ because the bible told me so.. i know because he told me himself and showed me for real what he had to do to put his spirit into this world. and it was a bloody massacre to defeat the devil, death and pharisees. so yes, i do think some praise and thanksgiving are in order.. i do it on the internet, on my skateboard, on my guitar, everywhere i go. because his name is above all other names.. that is why it is banned and ok to hate him in this world that prefers darkness and wickedness to light and life. why praise a dead man instead of the living God? i am not asking you to praise me, but if i were you would be more apt to do so than you were to mock me if i were to praise The Lord God most High for creating an individual capable of creating masterpieces that i cannot make myself.. because that is how the sinful nature works. pride, arrogance, deceit, denial... sin. and then death.
Questa esecuzione è magnifica! Il ritmo giusto che consente di apprezzare il gioco delle voci, la sonorità non pesante , l'interpretazione brillante e intensa. Una vera gioia. ❤
What a Superb Pianist Definitely one of the top Pianists in the world Technical and interpretational mastery of the instrument Also my favourite piece by J S Bach
Phenomenal. One expects nothing else from András Schiff playing Bach. JS Bach is the great love of his musical life. This concert was part of a Bach festival in Leipzig.
I thought I wasn't so interested in Schiff playing Bach... well until now. This is amazingly brillant, clever, sensual. How could you do better justice to this music?...
@Bach Wagner It's written andante. Most pianists play it adagio (which I like too, and that's actually how I play it myself, kinda... sluggish, as I have poor talent). Precisely I'm fascinated how Schiff manages to keep the music going at a good pace without missing its melancholic nature. I see left hand as the pace of a man walking, the romantics "Wanderer" ahead of time. No mawkishness, straight forward. I find it even more moving this way.
I don't agree. Technically, you can't beat him, for sure, but he lacks the vision for playing this kind of music. There is a silence, a somewhat religious side to it, that he doesn't seem to understand, or at least that he doesn't convey ... to me.
@@maxencedozin2143 I kind of understand what you mean. I'd give Glenn Gould as an example of the kind of playing you're talking about. I do generally enjoy how Schiff plays Bach, but it can veer toward the galant.
Bach, le piano , le baroque, cette musique est étonnamment moderne Reposante, endiablée; on n' en a tellement besoin vu le monde incertain et menaçant qui nous entoure.
Se escucha como si fuera natural y espontáneo. El inmenso trabajo que hay detrás de una interpretación magistral se oculta tras una "facilidad" aparente. Lo que resulta claramente visible y audible es cuánto disfruta el gran Andras Schiff con su consumada ejecución .....
This sounds way within his technical capabilities so he can just concentrate on making it as musical as possible. Which, God, he does. Great voicing. Bravo.
Wow I'm gobsmacked. I think he's got two brains one operating each hand and to play so perfectly but also with feeling, and without a note of music in front of him is astounding. I wonder how much his hands are insured for?
That opening frame, when he is smiling, the audience is smiling back, and the most joyful music begins... Such a wonder to be alive
One of my favourite pieces of classical music of all time, played by a musical genius.
Bach's music is so hopeful. It seriously cures depression and I say it with all seriousness.
Studies bear this out.

@@t_mm_r wow! 👍 Must have been such a wonderful experience
@@MichaelTLam for encores he played Hungarian Melody by Schubert, Mozart C major sonata, a piece by Janacek and Bach Italian concerto 1st movement
@@MichaelTLam Indeed!
Bach is just one of the reasons why I am happy to be alive.
thank God for Bach and the Gospel of Christ then, because without these inspiration, who knows what he might of done or sounded like.

PERFECT control - AND expressivity! What a phenomenal - articulate and expressive left hand, too! What a delight.
This is a wonderful piece of music. What a beautiful interpretation. Remind that this piece of music was written for cembalo, and its hard to give the correct expression on piano. But Mr. Schiff elevated it on a new level of joy.
I must have watched this video 100 times. Everything on it is really enticing. Mr Schiff's playing is just plain impeccable. The third movement is pure joy and he's actually enjoying the music he is playing. Also the audience seems to be well aware of how magnificent and unique what they are witnessing is. Very good

Schiff’s renditions of Bach are a good example of perfect in an imperfect world
Although most likely written for Harpsichord or clavichord I dare say.

@@bigred8438 Schiff makes justice to the idea of playing Bach on the modern piano.
Actually one of those very small handful of pianists whom I can imagine would make Bach happy with their interpretations on the "Hammerklavier" he was so disappointed with in his life...
Poor Maestro Cristofori, if only he could've known...
I needed something Baroque for my music appreciation playlist. I remembered the Italian Concerto as one of my longtime favorites. I found Schiff's performance, and I am amazed at how good it is. He clearly loves what he it doing, and does it so well.
Perfect acoustics
Javascript Kiddie wherever this was has beautiful resonance
@@markdougherty9917 Its the Thomas Church in Leipzig, where Bach worked by the way
I spent three years chasing Schiff to follow his cycle of Beethoven’s complete sonata. Then one year for Bach (for those who remember). It was an arduous long journey but it’s worth it.
He insisted that when playing Bach, one should never use any pedals because they were not invented at Bach’s time.
I always remember that...
In my opinion I think most performers use too much pedal in Mozart and Beethoven because the way I understand it the pedal was a special effect, to get orchestra effects, for example... The lagato playing was achieved by finger technique.Now players use the pedal for lagato
My own view is that if Bach had a Fazioli concert grand he would have made use of all four pedals.
@@tombombadyl4535 probably, since he used all the instrumental resources available vto him. However, *would is a modal auxiliary verb in the subjunctive mood ( statement of what is not the case). That is what actually happened..
@@michaeltheophilus5260 My comment is directed mainly at those who believe that to play Bach with pedal is some kind of sacrilege.
@@tombombadyl4535 yeah..I can agree that it is not..I just think it should be used with caution and not with the same affectation of composers like Chopin and Rachmaninoff
Il est Bach réincarné! Son meilleur interprète. ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏🎹🎹🎹
Exquisita sensibilidad y serenidad para tocar esta hermosa pieza. Gracias maestro ! Saludos desde Uruguay.
phenomenal he played all this perfectly from memory: one of the greats.

A truly sublime performance.
Bach is reason to live and breathe and be thankful.
Bach would probably disagree and say that all the good things that inspired him came from his God, the skies, the rains, the trees, the rivers, the fields, the stars, the mathematics, the geometry, and most of all Christ, his savior. Everything else is just stuff. His music was just a way for him to express the beauty he found in God and Christ. The ultimate creative power who built this house we call Earth and the Universe. And the One he Sent so that when he looks at us he doesn't have to see our sin. When we repent in the name of Christ, God looks down on us from Heaven in the same light of Christ resurrected, which i can attest, is too blinding and perfect to see or think of sin in.. so in Christ we are made perfect. In listening to Bach it is like music was made perfect.
objectivitycave11 Totally true. 👏🏻
Love it
Bach is right up there with beer, wine and coffee to make life bearable.
@@SereneJudo well he is the only Living God that has the ability to forgive sins on Earth. Through his eternally perfect spirit all things were made, both visible and invisible. it's not about us loving him. it is about him loving us. he loved us so much that he bore death so that no man could reign supreme over you with guilt, fear and shame. he was so kind as to fulfill the law of moses in his perfect spirit, as a human and God, only to give to you as a free gift of salvation. so yes, even if you are not worshiping Jesus, you are worshiping him in falsehood, or worse, trampling on his cross, whereas the Father prefers spirit and truth. i was loved by him after doing much sin. i don't know that i am loved by Yeshua jesus christ because the bible told me so.. i know because he told me himself and showed me for real what he had to do to put his spirit into this world. and it was a bloody massacre to defeat the devil, death and pharisees. so yes, i do think some praise and thanksgiving are in order.. i do it on the internet, on my skateboard, on my guitar, everywhere i go. because his name is above all other names.. that is why it is banned and ok to hate him in this world that prefers darkness and wickedness to light and life. why praise a dead man instead of the living God? i am not asking you to praise me, but if i were you would be more apt to do so than you were to mock me if i were to praise The Lord God most High for creating an individual capable of creating masterpieces that i cannot make myself.. because that is how the sinful nature works. pride, arrogance, deceit, denial... sin. and then death.
Questa esecuzione è magnifica! Il ritmo giusto che consente di apprezzare il gioco delle voci, la sonorità non pesante , l'interpretazione brillante e intensa. Una vera gioia. ❤
Fabulous.. it has done something to me, it has released a lot of grief I've been carrying around without knowing it. I feel at peace now.
Thank you.
Excellent🎉
What a Superb Pianist Definitely one of the top Pianists in the world Technical and interpretational mastery of the instrument Also my favourite piece by J S Bach
Une merveille ! Interprétation joyeuse, dynamique. Son toucher transmet délicatesse et plaisir de l’entendre. Merci Andrās ❤🌺
Phenomenal. One expects nothing else from András Schiff playing Bach. JS Bach is the great love of his musical life. This concert was part of a Bach festival in Leipzig.
もう出だしから、シフ先生以外何者にもできない世界が開かれる！
I thought I wasn't so interested in Schiff playing Bach... well until now. This is amazingly brillant, clever, sensual. How could you do better justice to this music?...
@Bach Wagner It's written andante. Most pianists play it adagio (which I like too, and that's actually how I play it myself, kinda... sluggish, as I have poor talent). Precisely I'm fascinated how Schiff manages to keep the music going at a good pace without missing its melancholic nature. I see left hand as the pace of a man walking, the romantics "Wanderer" ahead of time. No mawkishness, straight forward. I find it even more moving this way.
Again just a marvelous job by Sir Andras Schiff.

Maestro Andras makes playing Bach so fun! A geat teacher.
Bach and Schiff, a perfect match.
I don't agree. Technically, you can't beat him, for sure, but he lacks the vision for playing this kind of music. There is a silence, a somewhat religious side to it, that he doesn't seem to understand, or at least that he doesn't convey ... to me.
@@maxencedozin2143 : your comment intrigues me. Whose interpretation of the Italian Concerto do you prefer? I'd like to hear it. :-)
@@maxencedozin2143 I kind of understand what you mean. I'd give Glenn Gould as an example of the kind of playing you're talking about. I do generally enjoy how Schiff plays Bach, but it can veer toward the galant.
Eric Went I meant Gould. I know it’s cliche - or it might not be very original, but I believe he’s above the rest ! Cheers !
I stand by my belief that the experts are always in the comment section.
Bach, le piano , le baroque, cette musique est étonnamment moderne
Reposante, endiablée; on n' en a tellement besoin vu le monde incertain et menaçant qui nous entoure.
Tres bon!
This piece has more than a hint of perfection about it. In the of hands of András Schiff something near perfection is realised.
Fortunate audience! who get to watch & listen to this performance in a small venue.
An enchanting performance. I noted that the renowned Bach Scholar Christoph Wolff in the audience enjoyed it too.

Se escucha como si fuera natural y espontáneo. El inmenso trabajo que hay detrás de una interpretación magistral se oculta tras una "facilidad" aparente. Lo que resulta claramente visible y audible es cuánto disfruta el gran Andras Schiff con su consumada ejecución .....

Oh, you're making me cry. This is beautiful.
Thank u for uploading this wonderful piece. I heard this in the morning on the radio and i had to hear it played again. Hello from Dallas, TEXAS, USA.
This sounds way within his technical capabilities so he can just concentrate on making it as musical as possible. Which, God, he does. Great voicing. Bravo.

This piece is so elegant. Especially the first movement.
Wow I'm gobsmacked. I think he's got two brains one operating each hand and to play so perfectly but also with feeling, and without a note of music in front of him is astounding. I wonder how much his hands are insured for?
How very ....Very ....Beautifully ...played !!! ❤
in addition to his wonderful musicality, he is also so cherubic!
