Mitsuko Uchida by Justin Pumfrey Decca
Mitsuko Uchida, one of the great pianists of our time and a 2022–2023 Perspectives artist, plays Beethoven’s final three sonatas. Uchida’s handling of this repertoire is exemplary, and when she last performed this program at Carnegie Hall in 2009, her “dazzling clarity, warmly fluid, seamless playing, [and] probing intelligence” led unsurprisingly to “a tumultuous ovation” (The New York Times).
