San Francisco Chronicle

[Schiff] offers singularly lustrous and probing performances of these great works.... The readings are full of fresh insights and unexpected turns, all worked into cogent and consistently engaging conceptions of the whole. Steven Winn

Dallas Morning News

[Grade: A] every note of [Schiff's] Beethoven radiates sheer delight... He presents Beethoven not as a toga-clad Fifth Evangelist, but as a suave, playful experimenter. He relishes the music's surprises. This just may be the Beethoven cycle for the decade. Scott Cantrell

The Guardian

Schiff's myriad admirers won't hesitate, and there is certainly some immaculate, highly musical playing, the articulation perfectly judged, the tone pearlescent and exactly weighted. Andrew Clements
