Andras Schiff (piano)
ECM New Series 4764827 (4CD)
In what is not so much a radical rethink of his quarter-century-old Decca set as a wholly organic refinement, Schiff proves yet again what a masterful musician he is. Pedaling is almost entirely shunned, ornamentation is tastefully reined-in; yet every piece dances and sparkles with life in a perfect matching of clarity with warmth. This must now be the prime recommendation for anyone wanting these works on the piano.
