Album

Picture this. Sir András Schiff, jumping out from behind the piano, shouting «Surprise!»

OK, let’s not get carried away. More likely he’ll enter with his usual soft-spoken poise and grace, offering up an evening of delightful piano favourites. Perhaps a bit of Ludwig van Beethoven or a pinch of Franz Schubert? Whatever Sir Schiff chooses to perform, rest assured – you will be in for a treat. Previously Artist in residence at the Philharmonie, knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to music, this piano legend will captivate, charm and «surprise» in equal measure.
