Ms. Röschmann Also Featured in Carnegie Hall Performance of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas with Les Violons du Roy, La Chapelle de Québec, and Conductor Richard Egarr on April 12
 The all-star duo of soprano Dorothea Röschmann and pianist Mitsuko Uchida collaborate on a recital program of love songs by Schumann and Berg at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage on Wednesday, April 22 at 8:00 p.m. Ms. Röschmann and Ms. Uchida will perform Schumann’s Liederkreis, Op. 39—the composer’s passionate ode to his beloved wife Clara—and his Frauenliebe und –leben, Op. 42, a celebration of a woman’s devotion to her husband, pairing those song cycles with Berg’s fevered view of love in his Seven Early Songs.
Ms. Röschmann’s appearance follows her upcoming Carnegie Hall performance as Dido in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas with Les Violons du Roy and La Chapelle de Québec conducted by Richard Egarr on Sunday, April 12 at 2:00 p.m. as part of Carnegie Hall’s month-long Before Bach focus.

Legendary pianist Mitsuko Uchida brings a deep insight into the music she plays through her own quest for truth and beauty.

Ms. Uchida will also tour with soprano Dorothea Röschmann in the UK, Europe, and the US, and with mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená at venues including Vienna’s Staatsoper and Paris’ Théâtre des Champs Elysées. During summer 2015, she will appear at the Salzburg Festival and Edinburgh International Festival. Ms. Uchida collaborates closely with the world’s finest orchestras and musicians. Recent highlights include Artist-in-Residence at the Cleveland Orchestra and the Berliner Philharmoniker, performing both as a soloist (Beethoven’s Piano Concerto cycle with Sir Simon Rattle) and in chamber music. In previous seasons, Carnegie Hall dedicated a Perspectives series entitled ‘Mitsuko Uchida: Vienna Revisited’ and she also appeared at the Concertgebouw in a Carte Blanche series, in which she directed from the piano Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire, and collaborated with Ian Bostridge, the Hagen Quartet, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
