Too precious, and even a bit dull. I know many people adore Schiff but besides playing note perfect I don't think he brings much to the table. Argerich is far superior, to name one of many
I knew Andras Schiff's name by looking at records but I had never listened to him nor to Bach's Inventions (I know almost every other keyboard works). It's a pity I'm discovering his playing only now but... better late than never ! Magnificent. It's the kind of very delicate performance that I love on Bach's music. And who cares if they were "exercises" ? Many pieces by the composer are apprently labelled as such and that's probably why he was despised for almost centuries., before being discovered again in the middle of the 20th century - maybe better appreciated than he had ever been... These inventions - performed this way - are really beautiful music, with this unique talent for counterpoint. Yohann Sebastian Bach was too humble, probably.

When you listen to Mr Schiff playing invention no. 1 then you try and copy it, but come away unable to play it with his ornaments, or even as Bach originally wrote it!!? 😅🤣😭🥰🤪🥵 Yes. Big emotions!!!
