Koret Recital Series
András Schiff, piano
Works by Bach, Bartók, and Beethoven

In his only West Coast appearance this season, a musical artist of singular renown returns to Cal Performances. Hungarian pianist András Schiff plays in the grand Romantic tradition and with profound insight, and over the decades his legendary recording output has made him a favorite of audiences worldwide. Schiff’s Berkeley concert features Beethoven’s glorious Diabelli Variations, one of the towering compositions for the piano and often considered the match to Bach’s immortal Goldberg Variations. “Schiff’s interpretations were beautifully conceived with an intimacy and insight that spoke of his own profound feeling for the music” (Daily Telegraph, London).Program: Bach: Three-Part Inventions • Bartók: Piano Sonata • Beethoven: DiabelliVariations
