Reviews
Has Diabelli’s innocent theme ever been given such a sharp profile, I wonder? ... No variation passes without some subtle illumination of timing, articulation or inner dialogue. ... everything that is special in Uchida’s playing is closely allied to the markings in the score, as it is, too, to the broader underlying architecture. David Fanning (Recording of the Month)
[Mitsuko Uchida’s] Diabelli Variations are a triumph of wit and character, revelling in the humour that the composer took in turning the unassuming ‘cobbler’s patch’ theme into an expansive solo piano work that, when played at its best, seems to encompass all human life. ... Underneath the constantly changing surface runs a seam of solemnity and devotion, whether mystical, enigmatic, lyrical or consolatory. It is this that lingers in the memory, long after Uchida has (metaphorically) danced the Diabelli’s final minuet. Rebecca Franks (Instrumental Choice)
