Sir András Schiff plays Bach Piano concert in 1989

About

One master pays tribute to another in this stunning recital, recorded in 1989 by Bruno Monsaingeon's cameras! Hungarian piano legend Sir András Schiff plays works by Johann Sebastian Bach, starting with the effervescent Italian Concerto in F Major. You can count on one hand the number of pianists who think as deeply about Bach, or play his music as well, as Schiff—and in this spellbinding program, the virtuoso wrings every ounce of expression from the score while respecting Bach's finely wrought architecture.
