Pierrot lunaire is a melodrama by Arnold Schoenberg consisting of 21 selected poems from Albert Giraud s cycle of the same name as translated into German by Otto Erich Hartleben. The work is written for narrator, traditionally performed by a soprano, who delivers the poems in the Sprechstimme style accompanied by a small instrumental ensemble. The 2011 Salzburg Festival hosted pianist Mitsuko Uchida, actress Barbara Sukowa and a hand-picked international ensemble, who performed the work for its centennial with exemplary energy and finesse, acclaimed as a climatic moment by the audience and critiques alike. A good performance needs to have heart and spirit, and that is what we try to achieve. The piano should sing and the voice should speak. I should also play the piano in a way that doesn t sound like piano. I have to sound like the flute, the violin, and so on. Everybody melts into one. (Mitsuko Uchida).
