More Details on Beethoven - Piano Sonatas 28 & 29 ’Hammerklavier’
BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE AWARD WINNER - Disc of the Year and Instrumental Category 2008
Mitsuko Uchida follows her acclaimed first disc of Beethoven Sonatas with the Hammerklavier Sonata - considered to be Beethoven's most complex and challenging piano composition. A key work of the repertory from 'one of today's great pianists' (The Times).
Mitsuko Uchida is known for her intense musical connection with the works of Mozart and Schubert. In recent years she has turned her attention to a searching exploration of the works of Beethoven, and her first disc of Beethoven sonatas (2006) received critical acclaim:
'Anyone looking for an honest yet deeply sophisticated approach to Beethoven - never theatrical, never merely scholarly - would do well to look to Ms. Uchida's new CD' The New York Times
'...the despair and sublimity of both this music and Uchida's performance are really beyond words.' The Times, London (on performance of Beethoven Sonatas)
'Uchida combines incandescent clarity and endless reserves of power and speed with a searching intelligence.' Chicago Sun Times
