András Schiff - Piano Johann Sebastian Bach - Italian Concerto, BWV 971 0:29 Allegro 4:26 Andante 9:07 Presto Johann Sebastian Bach - Capriccio in B-flat major, BWV 992 12:49 Arioso: Adagio 14:35 (Andante) 16:03 Adagissimo 19:24 Aria di Postiglione 21:17 Fuga all’imitazione della cornetta di Postiglione Johann Sebastian Bach - French Suite No. 5 in G major, BWV 816 23:48 Allemande 26:33 Courante 28:08 Sarabande 32:28 Gavotte 33:46 Bourrée 34:56 Loure 36:59 Gigue Johann Sebastian Bach - Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in D minor, BWV 903 40:47 Fantasia 47:43 Fugue Subscribe to EuroArts: Deep pathos is constrasted with witty humour, serenity is paired with fleetness of foot, and all these emotions prove that this brilliantly expressive musician is as “unique and unequalled“ today as he was when his first briographer, J.N. Forkel, wrote so eloquently about him more than two centuries ago. These performances exemplify perfectly the thoughful and persuasive approach that András Schiff adopts when playing Bach.
