Bach Die Kunst der Fuge, BWV 1080
Sir András Schiff piano
Sir András Schiff has made the music of Bach his own. In a career spanning five decades, the great Hungarian pianist has focused on the music of the composer whom he describes as a ‘great scientist who systematically set new challenges for himself, which he then solved at the highest level possible.’ One such challenge was The Art of Fugue – Bach’s big project to lift the fugal form to new heights just as it was falling from fashion. The result is a work of immense richness, imagination and possibility that a great friend of Oxford, Schiff, will perform at the Sheldonian Theatre.
