Mitsuko Uchida

After dedicating herself to the demanding Diabelli Variations, pushing her interpretation of one of Beethoven’s most fascinating creations to the limit – along with Schubert and Mozart, the centrepiece of her career – the accomplished pianist Mitsuko Uchida asked herself what the next challenge should be. She found an answer in the last piano sonatas by the German composer. At Gulbenkian, Uchida will perform Beethoven’s Sonatas No. 27, combining it with one of Schubert’s final three masterpieces in the genre.
