| 1-Nov-2012 92nd Street Y, Lexington Avenue at 92nd | Part 2 of András Schiff's Bach Project at 92Y |
 At times, this recital felt just plain wrong, almost voyeuristic. It had a purgative, deeply personal flavour to it that had been absent from András Schiff’s performance of the first book of the Well-Tempered Clavier, five days and Hurricane Sandy prior. Particularly in the second half Schiff’s playing was more overtly emotional, slightly more idiosyncratic, and, remarkably given the standards of concentration on display in the previous concert, even more intense.Read full review... | |
| 27-Oct-2012 92nd Street Y, Lexington Avenue at 92nd | András Schiff's immaculately-tempered clavier at 92Y |
 András Schiff was one of the first pianists of the digital era to record the complete works of Bach, back in the 1980s. Now, older and wiser, Schiff is embarking upon a tour demonstrating how far his interpretations have progressed over nearly three decades. This 92Y concert was the start of a two-year series which takes in New York’s major concert halls: the English and French Suites at Alice Tully Hall, concertos with the New York Philharmonic at Avery Fisher, and the Partitas and Goldberg Variations at Carnegie Hall.

| 10-May-2012 Kimmel Center, Perelman Theater | Christian Gerhaher and András Schiff: A true musical partnership |
 Among the audience at Thursday night’s Philadelphia Chamber Music Society recital, it seemed few had heard of baritone Christian Gerhaher. They had come for the excellent reason of András Schiff playing the piano. But by the end of the evening it was clear that neither name would be soon forgotten. In a warhorse-heavy program of Beethoven, Schumann, and Haydn, they were an exceptionally subtle and accomplished team.

| 8-Dec-2011 St George's Bristol | András Schiff performs, conducts and plays with the Oxford Philomusica |
 Standing ovation after standing ovation. The packed hall at St George’s received a treat in form of an evening of Haydn played by fantastic musicians. The stage was filled with energy from start to end in a programme, from the Oxford Philomusica’s ‘Best of Haydn’ series, which displayed a variety of Joseph Haydn’s works. Haydn (1732-1809) is recognised as the ‘father’ of the symphony and occupied a pivotal role in the history of the piano sonata. How better to pay homage to him than to perform some of his major piano works and finish it all off with a symphony?
