About

Vienna's eighteenth- and twentieth-century musical worlds meet: Pierre Boulez leads one of the world's finest pianists in Berg's Kammerkonzert and conducts Mozart's exquisite chamber work for wind, the Gran Partita.

These two pieces which are in fact related more closely than one might at first think. Twelve-tone twentieth-century composition meets and draws inspiration from eighteenth-century classical form; Berg, like Mozart in the Gran Partita, used 13 wind instruments for his chamber work, and also looked to the musical structures used by Mozart and his contemporaries.

"Glowing with a mastery and conviction known to very few pianists, her performances brim over with zest, sheer style and assurance" - Gramophone

"Boulez brings clarity to every sound strand, colour and dynamic...you hear nuances that many performances sweep under the carpet" - The Times

Uchida and Boulez's previous collaboration, of piano works by Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, won both a Gramophone Award, and an Edison award in the Netherlands.
