Testimonials

Participating in the Gstaad Piano Academy was an incredible and truly valuable experience for me. Listening to my outstanding colleagues perform and then having the privilege to play for Sir András Schiff was an immense honor. I was particularly fascinated when Sir András Schiff explained the touch needed for Bach in the Sarabande, always precise and concentrated sound, no impressionism, as he said. His words will resonate in my mind for a long time.

Few places in the world have allowed me to meet so many creative and demanding musicians. I had a really exciting time and I was very honoured to be able to follow the teaching of such an exceptional teacher as Sir András Schiff.

My week in beautiful Gstaad was a deeply inspiring and enriching experience for me. It is such a rare and extraordinary experience for a young musician to be able to spend a whole and intensive week learning from one of the leading artists of our time. I feel immensely lucky to have had this profound learning experience, which I will surely carry with me for years to come.

Gstaad is the ideal location for a master class. The beautiful nature, the unique atmosphere and last but not least the spirit of Yehudi Menuhin combine to stimulate and inspire. It is an honor for me to be able to teach here. I hope the talented young musicians will be able to profit from all of it.
