ABOUT THIS SACD Hybrid SACD only releases Click here to visit www.mitsukouchida.com Mitsuko Uchida is without doubt among the leading Mozart interpreters of our time, with a large and distinguished Mozart discography always among Philips best-selling discs. This new Mozart recording is the culmination of a performance project in which Mitsuko Uchida has been joined by violinist Mark Steinberg, the leader of the Brentano Quartet. 'Steinberg and Uchida have established an astonishingly sensitive collaboration… Steinberg's playing was as alert as Uchida's. He employed every shade of vibrato to characterise different phrases, and created a huge range of expressive colours'. The Guardian concert review The album was recorded following concerts of the complete cycle at the Wigmore Hall in London and selected programmes in Bath, Antwerp, Dublin and Paris. The intensity of Uchida and Steinberg's playing gave a glimpse of the riches in store in the rest of this enthralling series. The Guardian concert review "...To enter into Mozart’s set of sonatas for piano and violin as a listener is to eavesdrop on a private exploration of ideas and impressions unfolding in an arena of the utmost trust and sensitivity. Piano and violin, with their radically different sonic personas, share musical material throughout. This double illumination allows us to encounter the same material lit by sunlight and by the limpid reflection of the sun in moonlight. During the past twelve years of living in these pieces together, Mitsuko and I have found great joy in making music dancing around a common center, in the quicksilver sensitivity of combining thoughts and sounds. With this recording we hope to offer the listener entry into the pleasures of this intertwined, intimate dialogue... ...The poet Albert Goldbarth speaks of 'love of life so rich it can afford to love the weeping at its center' (Apology, Combinations of the Universe). Coming across this phrase recently I couldn’t help but think of Mozart, whose light is pregnant with shadows, whose happiness so often flirts with ambiguity. It is this love of life, born of insight and understanding, that so engages and touches us." Mark Steinberg writing in the booklet note for this release |
