“We live in a golden age of Schubert pianists, but none surpass András Schiff in this ever-astonishing repertoire...it is a marvel...His range of colour and tone and dynamic, matching the music’s, is huge, from the thunderous to the exquisitely delicate - I have never heard the late Rosamunde impromptu sound more beautiful or achingly sad”
