Piano Sonatas, to be announced on the night
One of the world’s great pianists, since 2004 Sir András Schiff has performed the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas in more than 20 cities. In recent years his Bach has become an annual highlight of the BBC Proms, and he regularly performs at London’s Wigmore Hall and prestigious musical venues in Europe, America and Asia. Having collaborated with the world’s leading orchestras and conductors, Sir András Schiff now focuses primarily on solo recitals. His authoritative and deeply considered performances of the music most important to him have often been combined with spoken introductions. Much honoured in the UK and elsewhere, he now prefers to maintain an element of surprise in terms of the exact programmes of his recitals and tonight he will announce his programme from the stage – though his audiences can expect a performance of the highest quality, and one which will certainly include some Mozart.
