Andreas Schiff once said during an interview that he always starts every day by first playing a piece of Bach’s music regardless of whatever else he’s professionally required to perform. It says a lot about his regard for Bach but also explains why he plays so effortlessly with deep emotion and precision. We the audience are the beneficiaries of his devotion. Thanks Andreas.

Schiff wanders through the landscape of Bach's music in a state of sheer delight, familiarity and wonderment. His joy transcends all other thoughts as he is engulfed by Bach's magic and he communicates it to us without a trace of self-consciousness. No musician can do more.

Let me just remind us what an enormous musical capacity Andras Schiff really is: He actually plays the French Suites, English Suites, WTC (both book 1 & 2) and the Goldberg Variations + + ....all by memory. Deep Respect

I agree with everything you wrote, but to me it's incredible that this is only scratching the surface. As others wrote in the replies, the partitas, concerti, the french overture, italian concerto, two part inventions and sinfonias, I think i remember seeing him play the toccatas on spotify. Basically he played all of music by Bach. He might have omitted some much lesser known works, but I doubt there are many. And then... complete Mozart sonatas and many concerti, many Haydn sonatas and concerti, all Beethoven sonatas (I think there are a few violin sonatas as well, if not all) and concerti and other works of all of the classical trio composers works like variations. Most of Schubert sonatas, Impromtus, moments musicaux, wanderer, four hand pieces, songs, Chopin preludes, some etudes, i think he recorded the 2nd concerto, I know there are recordings of him performing first two ballades and scherzi (the only recording of him I can remember not liking very much), all important Schumann works, a lot of Brahms, both concerti, clarinet sonatas and many other works, Janacek, Bartok, a lot of chamber music. And conducting. He is out of this world. Whenever I study a new piece I check if there is a Schiff recording, and usually there is unless its russian or impressionist music.

I met him in a coffee shop in San Francisco one morning many years ago. I recognized him as he was giving a concert that evening at the symphony hall and I said “Hello”. Aren’t you the pianist, Andreas Schiff?” He was sipping an espresso and he smiled warmly and he seemed pleased to be recognized. He was very gracious. I said I looked forward to his concert that evening. He played all Beethoven that evening and it was wonderful.

As with Schiff's live performance of the English Suites, I am in complete awe of his musicianship. His sense of the inner pulse of the music, his balancing of voices and his ability to make us grasp the structure of these works is without parallel. That he is able to do all this from memory only underscores how utterly Schiff inhabits these magnificent works. Bach's music never fails to exemplify the sense of balance, joy, and nuance to which every life should aspire.

I had never even heard of Andras Schiff before last week. I saw the video of him playing the English Suites, and now, the French Suites. He plays them from memory, in front of live audiences. He is perfect, almost like he is Bach making them up on the spot. - youtube is good for something. Saving these amaaaing performancds almost redeems them in my eyes.

***** It is not hard at all to memorize the entire structure - your hands do this for yourself. The hardest part is to improve your technical skills (practice makes perfect). I've studied guitar and I noticed that practicing classical composers teaches your hands of the musical sense implied in any composition. Also the whole piece must be audible in your mind as if you put a record on. It's quite amusing experience indeed.

I sometimes listen to Andras Shiff and Bach in my bed at night. Wonderful! Makes me calm and relaxed. Then my little black stray-cat jumps into the bed. And relaxes with me. I think she has a musical ear! :)

He's playing it in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig where Bach worked, so the vibes are very special.

Bach’s keyboard music may not be as overtly flashy technically as that of say Rachmaninov or Liszt. But it is SO much more difficult to perform! With Bach, there is no where to hide. You can’t connect the various contrapuntal lines by just blurring it all together with the use of the sostenuto pedal, the way many pianists do with piano music of the Romantic era. With Bach you really can’t use the sostenuto pedal at all, as is the case with Schiff’s brilliant performances here. He’s creating smooth legato lines by using enormously complex fingering. And yet he makes it all sound so effortlessly beautiful! This is but one of the many reasons why Schiff is among the greatest of Bach keyboard performers of all time. I have major respect and admiration for this man. He has always been a source of enormous inspiration for me as a pianist. 🙏

Nothing soothes my soul like Bach does.

András Schiff. Together with J S Bach, my greatest musical hero. Schiff is testament to what love, extremely hard work, education and dedication can accomplish. Bach would have adored him.

I felt as if Bach himself was playing it. And the whisper of God. Wonderful ! I believe only people who experienced the sorrow and tragedy of life can understand the value of Maestro Bach.

J adore écouter Schiff jouer Bach car il touche à la perfection.Sa sonorité, son phrase, son profond respect de la pensée du compositeur, tout cela m enchanté.

What a phenomenon - beyond our understanding, but so be it - that our awareness, our understanding of Bach's music keeps evolving. I loved listening years ago to Rosalyn Tureck, then fell head over heels with Glenn Gould. Since I heard him in his New York Debut at the Grace Rainey Rogers auditorium, I have been amazed at every moment that Andras Schiff has shared with us his Bach, and the amazing part of all this is that his interpretations keep evolving. What we were grateful years ago, is even more of a gift today. Listening to this great musician bringing us Bach is the deepest spiritual experience. Just try listening to the September 7th WTC from Royal Albert Hall. God bless you Andras.

J. S. Bach was a master at contrapuntal composition of which this is a prime example and executed masterfully by Mr. Schiff! I find the integration of multiple melodies with catchy rhythms both intriguing and very pleasant listening!

Bach's music alone speaks what those quotes can't even describe!

If one must choose between Schiff and Gould, I think Schiff wins: there is perfect consistency; there is unfailing obedience to the composer's text; there is no quirkiness in interpretation; there is no humming or other superfluous sound; and in their faces and body language, both of them are immersed in the beauty of the music. BUT with Gould, I feel egoism (preoccupation with self) but with Schiff I only sense respect and adoration for J.S. Bach himself, which I feel transcends, or blocks the presence of any egoism that may be there. I'm not talking about egotism, which involves an inflated sense of self-importance. I just feel Schiff giving only the composer's voice to his music, while Gould gives some of his own voice to it. Whether that matters depends on your point of view. With most composers from the baroque period onward, it seems to me to be an academic argument that will never be resolved, a matter of opinion. With Bach, I sense a precision and perfection in form and structure that requires me to defer completely to the composer. I am looking for one way to play it: my perception only of what Bach wants me to do, not what I WANT to do. So, as much as I revere Gould, Schiff is my reference against which all others are compared.

I don’t think he’s doing anything but respecting the emotion that’s already in there. With Gould I am in awe of Bach; but with Schiff I get closer emotionally to the music.

gracias buen hombre.

The music just flows through Andras as though he's somehow connected to an other wordly force. Extraordinary.

Nie spodziewałem się takiej kompozycji Mistrza. Słucham kilka dni i za każdym razem czakra serca mi wibruje.

Fabulous musician and pianist. Scholarly, intuitively musical from out of this world. The clarity and sophistication of his Bach is just paradigmatic.

Tightly compressed and then released. Everything falls into place as I drift through these prodigious melodies. Brilliant interpretation. Thanks for uploading filjan44.

Andras is a great conduit between Bach and all of us listening. No more miracles.

Saw Schiff in vancouver. Not many modern pianists match his brilliance.

I envy you. I wanted to go to that show, but was out of town on business (or in the hospital, I can't remember which now -- in any case, I couldn't go).

This is true.

Certainly my favourite interpreter of Bach, brings out those incredible melodies, fascinates me to listen to a number running along their own path, so much to hear, used to love playing Bach, such a challenge to master! Thanks to this man.

Very awesome piece! Thanks to Mr. Schiff for this soul-elevating music. Bless you a million fold.

Thank you, dear Andrasch Schiff, for such a performance of Bach!

Bach monumental suites and Andras Schiff monumental interpretation

At work and realized that I've already listened to this twice. Such exquisite music and I love it! Makes the day so much brighter.

It calms moved and transcends me all at the same time. Only the genius of Bach music can do this. It’s timeless and Schiff plays the way it should be played, airy and eloquent. Human language of the loftiest order.

A wonderful performance; so beautifully played. A delight to watch.

Such a lovely rendition, transparent and light.

Спасибо за публикацию! Слушаю снова и снова! 🌞

I am so thoroughly enjoying Schiff's masterful approach to Bach. I know Glenn Gould was considered the master, but I just can't get past the groaning! Schiff is amazing to watch and a pleasure to hear. What serenity!

It takes tremendous dedication and work to make this performance look so effortless. These pieces relax me and certainly help me unwind, especially in the evenings. I listen to them often. Andras Schiff performance is elegant and exquisite, as are these magnificent bach compositions.

This music has sustained me through days or student marking. The more I listen to it, the more brilliant it becomes. Many thanks.

Sembra che lo spirito di Bach si sia impossessato delle mani del Maestro

Such effortless playing for me clears the way for pure transmission of the composition which in turns expresses the beauty and the pathos of this life, and it seems, a reason for hope and trust in dimensions beyond this one. Bach beautifully played always inspires wonder and gratitude in me. Thanks everyone who had a part in bringing this to us.

Wonderful. He is such a gentle performer. I love this. That he can play this for well over an hour and keep up the intensity and yet seem so peaceful and unflappable is just amazing to me! Wow.

Peaceful is a good word, I agree!

Love Bach! His compositions are unique, magical... thanks for uploading! Lovely performance.

His play makes me feel something I cannot tell what it is.　something awesome.

An outstanding performance, full of thought. He knows all these pieces so well that he is able to stop by every line and sing it with its unique personality and a beautiful sound that flows for ever...

You can't get any better than The Great Bach! Beautiful performance! Andradea does a wonderful job in playing Bach! You can tell he feels what he's playing! Just wonderful!

Schiff is a one of my favorite piainisists.

Schiff became my first favorite pianist years ago when I was younger in age and in appreciation of classical music. I was lucky enough to pick a recording of the Trout Quintet with him as pianist...he is still my favorite

Pour moi il est mon préféré. Il ne joue pas pour le « tape à l œil » mais avec toute son âme et beaucoup d interiorite

La si así pudiera denominar, impropiamente, re-creación, al piano, por Andras Schiff, de las suites French, es una oportunidad excepcional para escuchar el pensamiento serio e íntimo de J.S. Bach. Pienso que era algo,así, como el encuentro del genio con la conciencia íntima de su poder, de su dimensión real. La ejecución de Andras, hermosa, serena, colmada de pasión y de amor. Me fascinó.

You are so right. I was lucky to be exposed to Bach early on in church. If Biden does indeed appoint a culture and arts secretary, maybe more people will finally be exposed, especially children, of all ages and colors. Best to you Jackie

He is a genius - how can he remember all this! Phenomenal !! Bravo !! Thank you.

I love this music and am so amazed at Mr. Schiff's performance... Flawless and by memory...

Thank you for this video, it was my introduction to Bach & never get fed up of listening to it. Also appreciate the tracklist.

I can't stop watching and enjoying!

No existen palabras para clasificara estos dos genios Bach and Schiff.MONUMENTAL!!!!!!

Fantastic! What a talented musician Andras is.

Quelle interprétation légère , subtile , toute en finesse et beauté de mon Bach que j ' aime tant . Merci infiniment !

Wonderful and beautiful and fantastic piano performance Thank you sharing ~

beautiful work, beautiful music from heaven.

Matters of interpretation aside, Schiff has an incredible ability to play all lines of polyphony with clarity and character, he's a super genius badass

Nada mejor que escuchar a Bach para recuperarse del dolor que produce este mundo... Dulce consuelo, Bellisimo❤ Perfecta interpretación, tan delicada.😊👏👏👌

I have only heard these suites from this guy's performance here, but i am compelled to say that THIS is it. They are really speaking here. Whether anyone did it so much different, or so much "better," the suites here are brought out in a beautifully delicate and contemplative way. The performance appears to be . . . golden.

This is pure heaven . Thanks for posting this wonderful video. My favorite composer played by this genius...what a great gift. it.
