Mitsuko Uchida
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Mitsuko Uchida’s dazzling fingerwork will be on display at Carnegie Hall on Wednesday, April 27th. But why wait? Tune your radio to Evening Music and enjoy her on WNYC!
Uchida began to make her name as a Mozart specialist in London in the early 1980s. For a long time, when you heard her name, Mozart music came to mind as an automatic reflex. This evening, we hear her take on Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 17 in D. Beethoven, Boulez, and Schubert are on the menu for her Carnegie concert. Why choose? Listen to her this evening, and then go enjoy her live on 4/27.
Bedrich Smetana’s “The Bartered Bride,” will be performed at the Juilliard Theater on July 27, so if you prefer opera to solo piano, you might want to check out the details on their online site. We bring you the overture to this work this evening, in a version by the New York Philharmonic under Leonard Bernstein.
John Eliot Gardiner conducts the English Baroque Soloists and the Monteverdi Choir along with several soloists as we offer Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cantata No. 140, “Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme.” And you won’t want to miss Arvo Pärt’s “Passio,” his version of the Passion according to St. John. Paul Hillier leads the Hilliard Ensemble.
