The replacement will be far more interesting!!
I like Uchida.her Schubert is close to Richter’s.
Not close enough.
Always book a Uchida concert for the replacement…a few years ago in London we casually got given Krystian Zimerman as the replacement instead!
What utter nonsense. They are two quite different pianists. I cannot imagine Thibaudet playing Mozart nor would I wish to hear Dame Mitsuko playing Liszt.
What utter rubbish, pianists of their calibre and musicianship should be able to play anything. Whether they like it or not is a completely different matter.
Back issues can be serious. They are certainly painful. I hope this wonderful pianist will, with therapies, regain her strength and provide us with her gracious, fulfilling performances soon.
Congratulations! Thibaudet is the better choice.
