CLASSICAL

摘要

Andras Schiff recorded the 48 Preludes and Fugues for Decca in the 1980s: part of an extensive Bach series using a modern concert grand (in the wake of Edwin Fischer's 1930s sets and like several Schiff contemporaries). Schiff says he hopes these re-recordings, made in 2011 in a Lugano studio, are without what he sees as sentimental traces before - and you might think the opening Prelude in C is too extreme in objectivity. But another explanation he offers is that he sees a colour progression from pure white to black (B minor).
