MITSUKO UCHIDA

Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 28 in A, Op. 101; No. 29 in B flat, Op. 106 (Hammerklavier)

Mitsuko Uchida (piano)

Philips 475 8662 (3 discs)

 

WHAT THE JURY SAID:
'‘The opening fanfare of the Hammerklavier commands your absolute attention, and you’ll be unable to drag your ears away even during the unusually slow Adagio, where the bass sings like a cello, and Beethoven becomes your entire world.’

WHAT THE VOTERS SAID:
‘When I listened to Uchida’s recording for the first time, I didn’t move for its whole duration. This disc really has cast a spell on me.’ Philip Goss, Stourbridge
