Description:

Mozart Week 2015 LiveA live video of András Schiff playing at the "Mozart Week", the Beethoven & Mozart Winter Salzburg Festival. András Schiff, one of the greatest pianists of our time, with his superb technique and sublime artistry, leads the Capella Andrea Barca, a chamber music orchestra founded by Schiff himself in 1999, in a program of Beethoven, Schubert, and Mozart. Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 is a bright work with youthful and extended melodies heard throughout. Schiff's lively, lucid piano and lively conducting made for a pleasant performance. And Schubert's Symphony No. 5. In recent years, Schiff has been focusing not only on playing but also on conducting. This Fifth Symphony is a work with a beautiful melody full of Schubert's songfulness and a bright, light-hearted atmosphere. Schiff is highly regarded as one of the best Schubert players of his generation, and his many years of experience with Schubert's works are reflected in his conducting as well.Finally, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 22. This is the first piano concerto to use the clarinet, and is a large-scale work with a symphonic structure that demonstrates Mozart's mature writing style. Schiff's intelligent and sensitive approach is playful yet very convincing and propulsive. King International
