Sir Andras Schiff took to the stage of the Lobero for his 7th Masterseries appearance, this time as part of CAMA Santa Barbara’s season, for an evening of music by German composers Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Brahms and Bach. Sir Schiff is a masterful and deceptively calm appearing performer who spins amazing pianistic stories, and the program highlighted his talents perfectly. He has stopped performing in his Hungarian homeland for political reasons, but the rest of the world continues to bask in the warmth and humanity of his playing, with Santa Barbara being especially lucky.
