July 2022
Her Diabelli Variations are a triumph of wit and character…Yet it's in her handling of the profundity lying beneath that Uchida makes her *Diabellis* stand out. Underneath the constantly changing surface runs a seam of solemnity and devotion, whether mystical, enigmatic, lyrical, or consolatory.
17th April 2022
Uchida’s response on this superb recording is the same: she audibly relishes the 33 variations’ endless juxtapositions of light and shade.
7th April 2022
Her playing conveys a keen sense of the music’s absurdities without exaggerating its quirks, gently raising an eyebrow at Beethoven’s passages of deliberate heavy-footedness and revealing a sincere, profound truth right behind them.
