Andras Schiff

Known for his elegant and thoughtful interpretations, Schiff's playing is characterized by its clarity and musicality. Sir András Schiff, heralded by the Boston Globe as ‘one of the most penetratingly serious masters of the keyboard before the public today’, moved from his native Budapest to London in the early 1970s and made his home there. He soon demonstrated his fearless independence of mind and probing artistry with a series of composer-led cycles at Wigmore Hall, and has enthralled its audiences ever since with his revelatory performances.
