Mitsuko Uchida performs classical piano pieces the best. I especially love her Mozart Sonata recordings. She performed Mozart's pieces so well that I thought she knows Mozart in person. Lively and yet touching; transparent touch and engaging phrasing. Words just cannot describe it all. Go to her all-Beethoven program recital. And you can tell me what you think.

I have found something to anticipate in January next year. I know it is too early to get excited, but it is my favorite cellist Yo-Yo Ma and well-known pianist Emanuel Ax performing a combined/collaborative recital! They had both collaborated together before. This will be a good chance to experience their performing chemistry live. They are premiering Peter Lieberson's new composition "Remembering Schumann". It will be an evening of music with romantic tone.
