Andras Schiff falls out
NewsMessage from his agency:
“Sir András Schiff regrets that he is unable to perform in Chicago at Symphony Center on March 29. He recently suffered a fall and is not allowed to travel to the U.S. at this time.”
UPDATE: On March 31 at Carnegie Hall he will be replaced by Marc-André Hamelin.
Carnegie Hall hasn’t cancelled his March 31 performance yet, so I guess they’re hoping for a quick recovery?
Hamelin will replace him at Carnegie Hall. Hope he is not badly injured
Not a big loss-his boring Bach P&F neither!
One of the most magnificent Bach performances I ever heard!
His Goldberg in live performance was magnificent!
“Sir András Schiff regrets…”
He’s unable to lunch today.
Touche.
Praying he is safe at home healing and will feel much better soon!
Hope he makes a quick recovery. I’m afraid his mediocrity, however, is terminal.
I heard him play live once in Montreal and he was great. His conducting is another matter apparently. He was so bad in rehearsal that the orchestra refused to play for him.
What terrible taste you have.. or more likely, jealousy abound.
His Bach Bartok and Beethoven Diabelli Variations in 2012 at Berkeley was the greatest and most moving piano recital I have ever seen.
kind of concerned that I am not seeing who I bought a ticket to see tonight at Carnegie Hall.. With all due respect for his replacement, this is not what I bought a ticket for. I’d prefer a credit to my account that I can apply to next year’s subscription.
Honestly don’t understand this unreasonable hate toward him. A very fine pianist. Jealousy is ugly… isn’t it.
