András Schiff is today regarded as one of the finest interpreters of Bach on the piano, a performing tradition that was earlier established by Glenn Gould with his legendary interpretations of the Goldberg Variations in the late 1950s and his numerous other recordings of Bach for CBS/Sony.
"Schiff is a most persuasive advocate of Bach on the piano..his rubato and the sparkle of his ornamentation are always winning. The sound is outstandingly fine." (Penguin Guide)
