Mitsuko Uchida plays Schubert
Live from Wigmore Hall, internationally renowned pianist Mitsuko Uchida plays all eight of Schubert's impromptus, some of his best-known and best-loved piano music.
As part of Wigmore Hall's 120th anniversary celebrations, internationally renowned pianist Mitsuko Uchida plays Schubert's Impromptus. Originally aimed at the amateur market and the well-heeled drawing room, Schubert's two sets of Impromptus are among his best-known and best-loved keyboard works, wonderful examples of his incomparable melodic gift and ability to change emotional tack, from solace and joy, to sudden bursts of drama and fury.
