H. Schiff - Box Heinrich Schiff

Heinrich Schiff at 65!The cellist and conductor Heinrich Schiff today looks back on a career that spans many decades. After his studies with Tobias K�hne and Andr� Navarra he made his debut as a cellist in Vienna and London in 1971. Since then he has been a regular guest of all leading orchestras, at the big music centres and at the major festivals in Europe, North America and Japan.Throughout his career, he has performed with conductors such as Abbado, Celibidache, Chailly, Dohn�nyi, Eschenbach, Gielen, Haitink, Harnoncourt, Jansons, Masur, Rattle, Salonen, Sawallisch, Sinopoli, Tennstedt and Welser-M�st but more recently, has released recordings of the main cello repertoire, ranging from Vivaldi and Haydn to Lutoslawski and B. A. Zimmermann. Apart from his prize-winning recording of the Bach solo suites and the Shostakovich cello concertos (for the latter he was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque), Heinrich Schiff has recorded, among others, the Dvo 345;�k cello concerto (Vienna Philharmonic with Andr� Previn) and the Schumann cello concerto (Berlin Philharmonic with Bernard Haitink). There was also widespread critical acclaim for the complete Beethoven works for cello and piano with Till Fellner, released in 2000. His most recent releases include a recording with Frank Peter Zimmermann (duos from Bach to Ravel).To celebrate his 65th birthday, NEOS has great pride in releasing this 17 CD box set celebrating this prolific and well-loved musician's career. Happy Birthday Herr Schiff!
