Mao Fujita's Mozart piano sonata cycle in July

[Rach3]

Per "Slipped Disc":

"This July, young Japanese pianist Mao Fujita performs a Mozart Piano Sonata Cycle at Wigmore Hall over five nights, showcasing his exceptional talent and the timeless works of Mozart in the iconic setting of Wigmore Hall.

Tickets start from £16, or £5 for Under 35s. As a celebration of the Under 35s scheme in the 2022/23 Season, each Under 35 ticket comes with a complimentary glass of wine or soft drink during the interval."

I suspect these recitals will be on the Wigmore YT site during, or shortly after.

Fujita is an excellent Mozart player, from my limited experience hearing him.However,youth wasted on the young under 35 ticket pricing ; I must "whine" about the age discrimination !

On 22 July 2019 I posted on CMG a very enthusiastic review of a New York recital he played, and I particularly liked the Mozart Sonata he played (K. 330).

Thanks for the alert, gentlemen! I'll be keeping in touch about this....

This is currently available for streaming from Qobus so I'd imagine you'd also find it on Spotify/Apple/Amazon/Deezer etc.

Right you are, Ric! I should have thought of that. It's on Spotify, of course, all 5 hours in a Sony box.

LATER: Have just listened to the first hour of this cycle. What exquisite and varied playing! Fujita certainly has a winning way with Mozart! I plan on adding this to my collection next to to Uchida's excellent box.

Many thanks for bringing up this topic. A great find, Steve!
