Interview

This juxtaposition of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 18 and Olivier Messiaen’s Oiseaux exotiques shows that grace and seriousness are not mutually exclusive, with both works demonstrating a light playfulness and profound substance in a performance by Mitsuko Uchida. To end with, conductor Simon Rattle presents a surprising “eccentric journey through Haydn”!
