From Amazon.co.uk: It is pianist András Schiff's near total identification with Janácek's idiom that makes these performances so special. This affinity is felt immediately in his reading of In the Mists, in which Schiff is able to evoke the [... more]

Dreary Sonatas: After listening to the first CD of the Schiff set I knew that he really disliked Mozart. The piano sonatas of Mozart require a light touch and very little use of the sustaining pedal and that is not what I have heard in this set. Many [... more]
