Sir Andras Schiff plays Janacek and Schumann

Sir Andras Schiff plays Janacek and Schumann at London's Wigmore Hall.

Martin Handley introduces a recital recorded earlier this year at London's Wigmore Hall by one of our greatest living pianists, Sir Andras Schiff. A renowned interpreter of the music of Bach, Schubert and Beethoven, tonight Schiff brings together two composers who plumbed the depths of human emotion through the smallest forms: Robert Schumann and Leos Janacek.

Janacek: On an Overgrown Path
Schumann: Davidsbündlertänze, Op 6
Janacek: Sonata 1.X.1905
Schumann: Fantasie in C, Op 17
