VENUE NOTE
One of the most brilliant pianists of our time, Mitsuko Uchida has spent a lifetime perfecting her relationship with the music of Schubert, the composer to whom she has always felt most connected. “Schubert was a solitary figure and his music is very solitary,” she told the New York Times. “His music is a dream. It contains all the sadness in your life. And yet there is a longing in it – and I think that’s the absolute beauty of Schubert.” It is this deep, personal and sensitive vision of Mitsuko Uchida that makes the pianist a sublime interpreter of the Austrian composer’s work.
