Sir András Schiff piano
As a prelude to the 25th Anniversary of the Oxford Piano Festival, Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra presents the Festival’s President, Sir András Schiff, in recital at the Sheldonian Theatre.
Having collaborated with the world’s leading orchestras and conductors, Sir András Schiff now focuses primarily on solo recitals, play-directing and conducting.
Since 2004 he has performed the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas in over twenty cities, including Zurich, where the cycle was recorded live for ECM.
Other acclaimed recordings for the label include solo recitals of Schubert, Schumann and Bach. In recent years his Bach has become an annual highlight of the BBC Proms.
Elsewhere, he regularly performs at the Verbier, Salzburg and Baden-Baden festivals; the Wigmore Hall, Musikverein and Philharmonie de Paris; and on tour in North America and Asia.
