In recent years, Schiff, who has performed with most of the world's top orchestras and conductors, has been focusing on playing the piano and conducting orchestras himself, and in 1999 he founded his own chamber orchestra, Capella Andrea Barca, which toured Japan the year before last to great acclaim. In 1999, he founded his own chamber orchestra, Capella Andrea Barca, which toured Japan the year before last to great acclaim. The piano Schiff used for the recording is an original instrument made by Brüttner around 1859. The piano was made in the period in which Brahms composed his Piano Concerto No. 1, and the orchestra of ancient instruments reproduces the sound of the period in which the work was created in a blissful performance.
