Work: Rondo for Piano in A minor, K511

Dame Mitsuko Uchida sources truth, beauty and graceful rebellions in a Carnegie Hall recital of Berg, Schubert, Mozart and Schumann.

Subtle and sublime, Denk delivers a memorable Mozart Rondo and Beethoven Op.109 and a marvellous Goldberg Variations.

At age 92, Menahem Pressler presented a demanding recital at Symphony Center. Results were mixed, but his reverence to the music was incontrovertible.

A hush fell over the auditorium as renowned concert pianist and long-standing friend of the LSO Mitsuko Uchida took her seat for Mozart’s Rondo in A minor for solo piano. A personal tribute to Sir Colin Davis, Uchida opened the Rondo with almost childlike simplicity, the delicate chromaticism of the opening theme played with simplicity and tenderness and a magical connection to the melodic line.

Sir András Schiff lief bei seinem Rezital in der Philharmonie nie Gefahr, sentimental oder zu romantisierend zu spielen.
