Mitsuko Uchida, piano
The World is Here
Mitsuko Uchida has long devoted much attention to the mainstream German and Viennese repertoire, but she also takes a keen interest in the music of today.
She opens her first UMS concert since her 1998 debut with a delicate Mozart sonata, and rounds it out with the US premiere of a new work by the German composer Jörg Widmann. Two Schumann masterpieces, including Kreisleriana, a wildly inventive set of pieces inspired by characters from E.T.A. Hoffmann’s works, and his Fantasy in C Major, penned as a love song to his future wife, complete the program.
