Sir András Schiff (born 21 December 1953) is a Hungarian-born British classical pianist and conductor, who has received numerous major awards and honours, including the Grammy Award, Gramophone Award, Mozart Medal, and Royal Academy of Music Bach Prize, and was appointed Knight Bachelor in the 2014 Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to music.

He is one of the most appreciated and distinguished pianists in the world. Magically, he brings life into pieces, makes them breathing and swinging and keeps up almost forgotten ideals of piano playing.

He is not only a great pianist, but also a professional whose view is not limited on piano music, but who has wide knowledge of the broad field of macro culture. This enables him to play the piano which always makes sense to his own point of view.

This extensive concert recordings for fans and collectors includes Schiff’s interpretation of Bartók’s Piano Concertos, Schubert’s Piano Trios and Bach’s Goldberg Variations among others.

András Schiff is particularly appreciated for his Janáček and Schubert interpretations, which are included in this collection.

The edition makes rare classical archive footage from the years 1989-2008 available for Blu-ray Disc lovers.
