Uchida plays Schubert

Pianist Mitsuko Uchida plays two Schubert sonatas, recorded at London's Wigmore Hall in December 2020.

A recital by one of the greatest living interpreters of Schubert, the pianist Mitsuko Uchida. Recorded at Wigmore Hall in London at the end of 2020, Uchida performed two of Schubert’s late masterpieces, both of which date from the last few years of his life. The unfinished Sonata in C, D840, was nicknamed the Reliquie when it was published posthumously, in the mistaken belief that it was the composer’s last work. And the deeply contemplative Sonata in G, D894, was a great favourite of Schumann’s, described by the younger composer as “the most perfect in form and conception”.
