Mitsuko Uchida
As a child, Mitsuko Uchida left her native Japan for Austria, entering a new world. Trained in Vienna, she became a world-class pianist, her enthusiasm for Viennese music enduring to this day. Uchida approaches great piano works with enduring sensitivity. "Today, I'm perhaps braver, but differently than in my early years." With her 'Viennese blood,' she unlocks the secrets of this music, particularly Schubert and Beethoven's sonatas.
