Set List'The Art of Fugue', Bach
Performance Notes‘The greatest work by the greatest composer who ever lived.’ That’s how the celebrated pianist Sir Andra´s Schiff has described Bach’s The Art of Fugue.

Following acclaimed Proms performances of The Well-Tempered Clavier and the ‘Goldberg’ Variations, Schiff returns to the Proms for a musical high point of his career-long relationship with Bach’s music. Here he squares up to a musical enigma, a cycle left unfinished at the composer’s death that represents the most complex, inventive, intimate and joyful act of creation.

He’s joined for one of the work’s fugues by German pianist and long-time collaborator Schaghajegh Nosrati.
