Piano recital Mitsuko Uchida plays Beethoven and Schubert

Wed, May 21, 2025, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Mitsuko Uchida (Piano)
Mitsuko Uchida is the grande dame of the piano – and one of the Berliner Philharmoniker’s close artistic companions. Her elegant, gripping and sensitive playing makes her an ideal interpreter of the piano works of Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert. In the final concert of our piano series, we will hear her perform Beethoven's Piano Sonata in E minor, which journeys between contemplative calm and passionate forward momentum, as well as Schubert's last sonata - a work full of intense emotions: sometimes rapturous and reflective, sometimes comforting; and at times, offering a terrifying glimpse into a psychological abyss. Arnold Schönberg and György Kurtág contribute poetic miniatures from the 20th and 21st centuries.

Mitsuko Uchida

Mitsuko Uchida (Piano)
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.

Mitsuko Uchida / Piano Recital

Thu, May 29, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Mitsuko Uchida (Piano)
World class – as she has been for decades: known for her technical perfection and deep musical intuition, Mitsuko Uchida is one of the greatest pianists of our time. The grand dame of the piano now returns to the Elbphilharmonie with a moving solo programme. Incidentally, she was not only involved in the selection of the Elbphilharmonie’s numerous concert grands, but also gave the first piano recital ever in the Grand Hall after the opening in 2017. The programme features Beethoven and Schubert, two composers with whom the Grammy award-winning musician has made a name for herself around the world. Beethoven’s famous Sonata Op. 90 is captivating for its great musical contrasts: while a restless motion carries through the passionate first movement, the lyrical second movement, with its song-like beauty in parts, is already headed distinctly in the direction of Schubert. Mitsuko Uchida then brings one of the most important piano works ever to the stage, namely his final piano sonata. In this deeply inward-looking and touching music, the romantic composer seems to leave space and time behind him – in ways rapturous and melancholic, dramatic and comforting all at the same time. Repertoire classics in a top line-up – making this a piano recital straight off the wish list.
