Take a deep breath

Sit back, relax, and let Bach's Toccata in C minor BWV 911 (Pianist Martha Argerich) amuses you :)

You can fall asleep and let your subsconscious mind listens to it.

For advanced pianists, listen to the multiple lines of the same themes and realize the magical effect of the long pause and the come back of the theme.

More Recitals at Carnegie

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.
