“A brilliant musician and an extraordinary visionary” (Wall Street Journal), French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard “always curates his recitals with scholarly devotion” (Washington Classical Review). This fascinating recital program focuses on the fantasia, interspersing works of widely differing character from the modern to the Baroque.

Following Matthew Polenzani and Julius Drake’s last PCMS recital, the Philadelphia Inquirer praised the American tenor’s “remarkable voice” and the duo’s uniquely cohesive partnership. “Drake and Polenzani drew on the same palette of colors and echoed each other’s phrasings, functioning as a single instrument. For all their individual strengths—Polenzani’s tenor of sheen and power, Drake’s expressivity—the message of greater value was in the one-ness.”

“Jonathan and I share the deep conviction that you can never really know all there is to know about great music,” remarks Mitsuko Uchida, “and that it’s worth spending your whole life trying to know a little more.” At the Marlboro Music School and Festival where they serve as Artistic Directors, these two peerless pianists have twice performed four-hand repertoire in concert together. In this rare duo recital appearance, Biss and Uchida demonstrate their artistic integrity and abiding love for Schubert.
