András Schiff's complete recordings of "the great 32" continue with the fourth instalment. His performances of these masterworks are highly regarded by classical press everywhere. Volume IV is sure to continue the praise and to appeal to even broader audiences as it includes perhaps Beethoven's most famous work for piano - the legendary Sonata No. 14 in c-sharp minor, the "Moonlight." The CD concludes with another of Beethoven's bestknown sonatas - No. 15 in D major, the "Pastorale." Whether performing Bach, Beethoven, Janácek or Mozart (and many others), András Schiff is one of the most heralded and acclaimed pianists of his generation. The New York Times says "Mr. Schiff has been playing for so long with such elegant pianism, consummate artistry and selfless dedication that it is easy to take him for granted." Schiff is a native of Hungary and has recorded for ECM since 1997
