Music reviews of Mitsuko Uchida Plays Schubert [Box Set]

Music Review: Mitsuko Uchida, an accomplished Schubertian
Rating: 5 Stars

When speaking of Schubert's keyboard output, for many years I have counted - among the living pianists - only Alfred Brendel and Radu Lupu on my short list of greatest interpreters. Their artistic trajectories and personal gifts seem particularly shaped for the delicate, perfumed melodies and playful rhythms Schubert conjured up so often in his work. Undisputed authorities of the field - considered as such by both specialists and audiences across the world - their recitals and recordings programming the Viennese composer's opuses (mostly Sonatas but also Impromptus, Moment musicaux, Klavierstücke, German Dances, Scherzos, Lieders) are always eagerly anticipated events.

However, I must gladly admit my short list has slightly enlarged lately. Since this CD box set arrived, in my preferences Mitsuko Uchida has definitely - and definitively! - gathered this select group of accomplished Schubertians bringing her unique and inspired insight to a delightful music for ages. So no surprise that now she enjoys a privileged place among them.

The outstanding result of these records - imbued with Uchida's superclass artistry - once more testifies her long run devotion to the Viennese music and her genuine commitment to value its everlasting treasures. This determination borders on a burning passion - I dare say even a fascination - with classical music riches, that only great artists can utterly experience to finally share it with us. Just remember her Mozart complete concertos and sonatas, as well the traversal of Beethoven concertos and - the more recently released - two discs comprising Titan's late sonatas. All these achievements could well have been explained by her musical training in Vienna some five decades ago, by the Imperial Capital mood that impregnated her ever since, by the high-spirited atmosphere so vivid over there. Yet, I think her passion stems from a deeper empathy with true values and their irresistible flair. Available - as all we know - only in the immortal masterpieces, most abundantly grouped in the XIXth century.

Once assumed the axiology, Schubert could well be one of the first choices for a lifelong partnership. Each of the sonatas recorded here unfolds its own character, its unique charm. Uchida commands a high-quality pianism in which the virtuosity is just a connotation - not a goal by itself - while the lyricism gets through with clarity and naturalness. The sonatas breathe an amazing fresh air - think of the ones in E flat major (D 568) or D major (D 850) - whilst the German Dances or the other short pieces (Moments musicaux D 780) exhibit a pleasurable and light-hearted flavour, all so fittingly featuring Uchida's skills. How lively the melodic lines combine, born from one another, developing calm reveries and delicate emotions arisen amidst the most intense upsurges of romantic fervour - as the case is in the great A minor Sonata (D 784) - or bleak soliloquies, like - for instance - in the second movement of the A major Sonata (D 959), where a restrained noble tristesse emerges through a sober and discrete - yet fondling - finger-work.

All these Schubert discs were recorded by Mitsuko Uchida in the renowned Golden Hall at Musikverein in Vienna, during five years of peak artistry in her fifties and issued as individuals in their time. At a worthy price, this box set storing all 8 CDs is a not-to-be-missed collector item.
