“Connoisseurs of rarified Mozart pianism will be pleased to rediscover (as I did) the sparkling symmetry and ultra-precision of Uchida’s fingerwork, the fortepiano-like ping of her sonority, her impeccable tempo choices…and finely judged balances between hands.”—ClassicsToday.com
A peerless interpreter of the works of Mozart, Schubert, Robert Schumann, and Beethoven, Mitsuko Uchida is widely celebrated as one of the most revered artists of our time. She has enjoyed a close relationship over many years with the world’s greatest orchestras and has been an artistic partner of Berlin’s Mahler Chamber Orchestra since 2016. These collaborators have undertaken a five-year project to explore the full breadth of Mozart’s piano concertos. They bring two of them (Nos. 18 and 21) to Hodgson Concert Hall for a UGA Presents debut that promises to be delightful and remarkable at every turn.
