Features: Schif's recordings of Bach albums for Decca have all been honored with the highest British Penguin three-star flower rating, including works such as the Goldberg Variations, The Well-Tempered Clavier, and the Two- and Three-Part Inventions. Rather than saying Schif is playing Bach's music, it is more accurate to say he is singing Bach's music. His clear and subtle tonal variations are like the cadence of language, giving the music's fast, soft, strong, and slow rhythms a singing, rounded line, as if the music itself can breathe and gasp with the beat. Listening to his interpretation will never feel stressful—instead, he always conveys the inner essence of the music to the audience in a smooth and soothing manner, allowing phrases to flow naturally and vividly from his fingertips, without excessive adornment or roughness. It is as if he is communicating and conversing with the listener through words. Bach's Two-Part Inventions and Three-Part Inventions each have 15 pieces, making them essential repertoire for piano practice, as well as important works for studying and appreciating Bach's keyboard music. Schif is one of the "Three Great Hungarian Pianists," and his meticulous research into the articulation techniques of the harpsichord allows him to play Bach with ease. Under his performance, Bach's Inventions are exceptionally fresh, elegant, and have superb tonal quality, making them a must-listen version.
