Andras Schiff plays Janacek: Piano Sonata 1905

Andras Schiff piano

The Sonata 1905 is probably the most important work for piano by Czech composer Leós Janácek. In this work he expresses his deprecation for the violent death of a young worker who was killed in demonstrations short before. In this recording Hungarian pianist András Schiff captures the mood and spirit of this piece perfectly with his emotive playing style.
