schiff's bach

[BoliverAllmon]

how well do you rate his WTC?

[zheer]

Never heard his WTC, but his Bach playing is beyond the light.

[pseudopianist]

Not heard his WTC except a few excerpts. I'm not a fan of his playing but alot of people seem to like him.

[Floristan]

I like it a lot.

I have not heard his WTC, but i have heard his 48 or parts of it. If that is anything to go by, i must.

His Bach just seems to be so clear and the fact that he loves Bach's music, shows in the playing.

What's the difference between the WTC and the 48?

[thalbergmad]

I am going to hold my hand up and admit that i actually thought these were 2 different pieces.

I must spend more time away from the Romantics.

I have been xvimbi'd

Schiff's Bach is interesting.  Nothing flashy, he seems to approach the pieces as if he was playing in a salon.  To those looking for a lot of excitement: stay away.

I havent heard his Bach, i'm going to see him perform the Beethoven sonatas cycle during this season. Anyone heard him playing Beethoven?

[BoliverAllmon]

is he playing all the sonatas?

Don't take it too hard. I actually thought for a moment that I had missed something for years. See, that's how much credit I give you up front . It took me 15 minutes to convince myself that those are the same, but I thought I'd ask anyway. If I had wanted to "xvimbi" you, I'd have put a lot of and  in my post.

[stringoverstrung]

i like his agogic accents .

[rohansahai]
