Encores After Beethoven

Between 2004 and 2006 Andr s Schiff performed a complete cycle of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas , recorded live and released by ECM New Series. This collection presents encores from these concerts that were carefully selected by the pianist to closely relate to the previously heard sonatas but which add up to a thoroughly enjoyable `recital' disc in its own right. (Works by Schubert, Mozart, Haydn and Bach.)
