Mitsuko Uchida, Piano

Mitsuko Uchida is among the most supremely sensitive and respected pianists of our time. Her “probing and magisterial” (The New York Times) Schubert interpretations make for destination-worthy performances, and this program features one of the composer’s late masterworks: Piano Sonata in A Major, D. 959. Dramatic, expansive, and deeply personal, it’s an ideal representation of the beauty and devastating emotional urgency found in his greatest musical achievements. The recital also includes Mozart’s seminal Rondo in A Minor, K. 511; Haydn’s revered Variations in F Minor; and Schoenberg’s idiosyncratic Six Little Piano Pieces, Op. 19.
