“Sometimes it is good if maybe the person who is playing announces the pieces and tells the audience something about the music. They’ll see that this performer is a real person in flesh and blood, not some strange being from another planet, and there is not a wall between us. ”
Sir András Schiff
“Each work is preceded by a commentary at once comic and serious….the leisurely whimsicality of his manner, and the light fluency of his touch, turn this pop-up masterclass into an unforgettable experience. ”
