CLEVELAND, Ohio – If the current “In Focus” episode were any more intimate, it would violate coronavirus safety protocol.
So close do the cameras get to pianist Mitsuko Uchida in the latest Cleveland Orchestra Adella video, viewers might as well be seated right beside her on the bench, far less than six feet apart.
It’s a great place to be. From that vantage point, and a range of other close angles, listeners get to hear every nuance of a nuance-rich performance of Schubert’s unfinished Sonata in C Major, D. 840, and savor the masterful technique behind it.
