The poetry of Mitsuko Uchida
Pianist Mitsuko Uchida's playing has been described using all the usual superlatives, but the word that seems to crop up most often is "poetic." Uchida shares her poetry with conductor Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic, in a performance of Beethoven's second piano concerto. And she'll be back again on Thursday's show for Beethoven's third concerto, from the same concert.
