[Decca 85th Anniversary]
Decca Classic Best 50 Authentic Classic Classic Series! A compact 2-disc set with fewer classics - famous songs and masterpieces from Decca, the prestigious classical music company.
Schiff's performance is representative of modern Bach performance.
While many of Bach's works are still based on 19th-century romantic interpretations, Schiff has brilliantly refined the universality of Bach's music using the piano, a modern instrument.
Schiff's unique nuances, based on the original, are brought to life through the natural musical changes that can be seen in the textures of Bach's music.
Highly accurate rubidium clock cutting reproduces sound quality that is more faithful to the master.
