Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: András Schiff - from piano to conductor's podium "When I was a young man I rebelled against the music of Beethoven. I needed to reach the age of 50 to really appreciate it and now I really got the message. "
Hungarian born András Schiff started piano lessons at the age of five . Subsequently he continued his musical studies at the Liszt Academy with György Kurtág and in London with George Malcolm. Recitals and special cycles, i.e. the major keyboard works of J.S. Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Schumann and Bartók form an important part of his activities as well being a regular conductor and soloist with many of the world’s greatest orchestras .
Among the highlights at Bonn’s Beethoven festival this year were two concerts featuring András Schiff and his own chamber orchestra, the Cappella Andrea Barca. The ensemble, which consists of international soloists and chamber musicians, was founded by Schiff in 1999.
In this week’s Inspired Minds, the second of a two part series, András Schiff talks to Breandáin O’Shea about the music of Beethoven and his move from the piano to the conductor’s podium.
