This stimulating account of his life and work, told in two parts, takes readers on an intimate journey from Schiff’s childhood in Hungary through to the present day.
In conversationw with Martin Meyer, Schiff discusses a diverse range of topics from his experiences with anti-Semitism and communist rule to his musical training with maestros such as Pál Kadosa and Ferenc Rados, as well as his thoughts on playing techniques and musical interpretation.
In a collection of Schiff’s writings we are enthralled by a guided tour of Bach’s ‘Goldberg’ Variations, sobered by Schiff’s public defiance against nationalistic and racist attitudes – to the extent that he refused to perform in Haider’s Austria or Orban’s Hungary – and delighted by the playful ‘Ten Commandments’ for concertgoers.
More than a memoir, this is a seminal compilation of the thoughts and experiences of one of the greatest musicians of our time, of his inimitable art of making music out of silence.General note: Melih Fereli tarafından bağışlanmıştır.
