About the artist Andras Schiff

Andras Schiff was born in Budapest Hungary in 1953 and began piano lessons at the age five with Elisabeth Vadasz. Schiff studied at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, and later in London with George Malcolm. He emigrated from Hungary in 1979. Schiff is one of the best-known living interpreters of JS Bach, Franz Schubert, and Robert Schumann. He has also recorded and championed the work of Leoš Janáèek and Sándor Veress. Schiff has been awarded numerous international prizes, including the Klavier-Festival Ruhr Prize (for outstanding pianistical achievements and to honour a lifetime’s work as a pianist) in June 2009. In 2006 he became an Honorary Member of the Beethoven House in Bonn in recognition of his interpretations of Beethoven’s works; in 2007 he received the renowned Italian prize, the ‘Premio della critica musicale Franco Abbiati’ awarded for his Beethoven Piano Sonata Cycle; in 2007 he was presented with The Royal Academy of Music Bach Prize, sponsored by the Kohn Foundation - an annual award for someone who has made an outstanding contribution to the performance and/or scholarly study of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach; in 2008 he was given the Wigmore Hall Medal in appreciation of 30 years of music-making at Wigmore Hall. He has been a British citizen since 2001.
