Music reviews of Beethoven Sonatas, Opp. 101 & 106 "Hammerklavier"
Music Review: as if Beethoven were in Uchida's hands...
Rating: 5 Stars
Uchida gives a masterful performance of the Hammerklavier. I was transported and listened from beginning to end. Sonics are gloriously superb. Uchida attacks the keyboard when necessary (as in the 1st movement of the Hammerklavier) and plays with fluidity with improvisatory feel when needed. Tempi are right on. You will not be disappointed with this performance.
Description of Beethoven Sonatas, Opp. 101 & 106 "Hammerklavier"
Mitsuko Uchida's scholarship of the works she performs and the energy she displays when playing have won her a dedicated following and a place as one of today's great piano legends. She has always been revered for her intense musical connection with the works of Mozart and Schubert; her many recordings of their works have become iconic and she has won numerous awards. In more recent years, Mitsuko Uchida has turned her attention to Beethoven. Her first disc of Beethoven piano sonatas earned great critical acclaim: "Anyone looking for an honest yet deeply sophisticated approach to Beethoven-- never theatrical, never merely scholarly--would do well to look to Ms. Uchida's new CD"--The New York Times Now Decca presents Ms. Uchida's new recording of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 28 and the Hammerklavier Sonata, considered to be Beethoven's most complex and challenging piano compositions.Here Mitsuko Uchida attempts the Mount Everest of piano sonatas, Beethoven's "Hammerklavier," a work of supreme power and complex structure. She offers a thrillingly virile performance, wanting neither in power nor accuracy. The first movement is a blaze of sound, a tiny pause after the initial statement of chords most welcome, with the bizarre rhythms intact and the harmonies sharp-edged. If the lengthy Adagio is missing some of its leaden hopelessness, it makes up for it in sheer darkness, and the violent flow of sound needed for the finale is clear and potent. Throughout, gentler passages are not overlooked, but daintiness never enters into the performance. Her reading of Opus 101 is just as fine. She misses none of the warmth of the opening movement; the sharp-edged March of the second movement is in strict time without ever becoming menacing; the fugal finale almost as impressive as that of the "Hammerklavier." This is a superlative achievement. --Robert Levine
