They love Andras Schiff in Leipzig, but not all can endure him
NewsAndras Schiff received the 2022 Bach-Medaille in Leipzig last night after playing the complete first book of the Well-tempered Clavier.
A retired administrator noted: ‘I was there, but left just before the ceremony – loo called and at my age that is significant. The whole of book 1 in one sitting is just too much for me. Those 5-bar rallentandos before last prominent chord in each p and f in the second half of the book I find difficult.’
