Digital Booklet
"... his energy, concentration and technique never operate at less than optimum level." - Gramophone "Four Stars ... unashamedly and masterfully pianistic, contrasting sustained tone and light staccato teasing out fragmentary motifs." - BBC Music Magazine "A very special disc. The performances radiate such warmth, spontaneity and joy as to reinforce one’s beliefs in Schiff, Bach and the power of music as a whole. Schiff clearly thrives on the excitement of the live event: there is a sense of the unrepeatable ... this stamps these works with a sense of love and sheer affection that really make them come alive ... as a sheer display of great music making this is hard to beat ... a tremendously satisfying experience." - MusicWeb International This live album, recorded in concert in Germany in September 2007, is one installment in a series of Bach recordings pianist András Schiff made for ECM throughout the 2000s, as he revisted works he previously recorded in the 1980s with a new maturity and sensibility. The Bach cycle inspired The New York Times to proclaim "there is nothing more reliable in the world of classical music today than pianist Andras Schiff playing Bach."

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
