- Mitsuko Uchida conducts and performs.
(continued from part I)
The guiding spirit of Uchida's performing ethos is one of generosity and community - a sharing of the joy and privilege of great music, both with her collaborators and with her audiences. As she puts it: "All great art is related to being a human being and demonstrates how wonderful it is to be alive."
(continued on part III)
Oh Please look at the expression on Uchida' face - this is not just brilliant pianist - this is a person who is in love with what she is doing - I will never hear a better rendition of this awesome piece and I hve been listening for over 60 years
Her performance is so convincing, it sounds as if she wrote the concerto herself. She is one of the rare few pianists who can make the music their own.
Who are those few others?
Always a favourite of mine. Feeling is everything.
Simply touching. 200++ years after his death, Mozart' music is becoming a universal language. Thank you for sharing this recording.
excelente interpretacion,felicitaciones!
truly beautiful
Beautiful!
Oh wow!She feels every note,she caresses every note!She strokes it into Life!Simply amazing!
i watched the ending credits to AMADEUS repeatedly just to listen to this. just beautiful!
Don't forget she's Japanese with their fine tradition of Kabuki, Noh theatre etc. But here her physical expressions and facial contortions have less to do with theatre than her TOTAL involvement with the music (including feeling the pain of Mozart)she's playing where she gives her heart and soul, if not her whole self to it in a performance where the EGO, as it were, is subsumed to this act of RE-CREATION! Unbelievable! sd goh (malaysia)
Such a ridiculously beautiful piece of music.Heaven help me if I ever tire of listening to it.
My favorite classical composers in order are Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart, and then Bach (yeah I know, Bach is Baroque). But this Piano Concerto is still my all time favorite composition, and Uchida nails it!
Why? Because she does something that many musicians forget to do, express themselves. It's not about you, it's about the music. Computers are very technical as well, but don't have the expression spontaneously. If music aspired on this level in the US, it would all be better.
Ms. Uchida's face expresses uninhibited, childlike joy in the music's beauty. Apparently, that looks strange (and maybe a bit threatening) to people not used to seeing or allowing such joyful lack of inhibition in a person her age.
i almost never cry. but i cried warm tears watching this wonderful, timeless mozart and heavenly uchida. i called my son - he plays piano - to enjoy it with me. but he watched me insteda; he had never seen me cry before.
if we all have passion in what we do like the way she has passion for music.. we all have the ability to achieve really great things :)
Very moving interpretation!
MY goodness this is one wonderful, talented intelligent woman... incredible... I LOVE her expressions!!! Surely I am not the only one?!
She deserves a place in the 10 best pianists still alive. How can you not include Uchida in that list!!? - even though there is immense competition when you really think about all the great pianists there are that are still around.
This beautiful piece will be my bridal entrance music on Sat 8th June
I was staring through the cage of those meticulous inkstrokes at an absolute beauty.
Wonderful performance ,Uchida is my favorit pianist .He play in original style ,arpeggios and ornaments performed lovely.
Thank You for music
Greetings from Germany

beautiful! a pianist like that is really rare, her movements are amzing .., the way she plays is dazzling ! the Orchestra ist very good toom the way they support the pianist is excellent! it's like she is leading them with the piano .. great piece
You got that right. My favorite movement from my favorite Mozart PC. Awesome !
When I listen to Mozart, his music takes me straight to God.
and when you get there, you are greeted with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach
@moses Cordovero Among other things. If you want to drive me screaming into the night, just start playing the Well Tempered Clavier.
lol why is that? while i admit to hearing very little of those pieces, the little that i have listened to, doesnt seem so bad
@moses Cordovero Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier consists of two sets of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys for keyboard. It is more an exercise in composition than anything else. I think it is really boring.
oh ok. i used to take piano lessons, where my teacher taught me how to play classical music, but she liked chopin and beethoven and did not like Bach, and so even though i wanted to study Bach, and even though i was paying her for the piano lessons, her will prevailed. and so i never learned how to play Bach's Well Tempered Clavier
I love seeing the bassoon, flute, and oboe players. They are so into it, especially the bassoonists! Fun to watch!! :)
very splendid performance..
i am moved to tears.,.
i am a member of the so called generation x but still i appreciate the music of the classical era.. i salute you madam uchida.,. hope i will be like you someday
This brings tears to my eyes in so many ways. Mozart is one of the best things humanity has brought us.
Magnificent... truly magnificent.... she is a legend, she is playing the of a legendary genius... what more could you possibly ask for ?? This is just pure beauty - plain and simple !
The flautist proves it's possible to play flute while continuously smirking.
The best Mozart pianist of this generation in my opinion. Wonderful interpretation.
excelente interpretación!

And if I had seen your comment, I would have said, "Time for the water closet, Herr Salieri!"

Mediocrities everywhere... I absolve you... I absolve you all.
Danke dir, lieber Art für deine wunderlich (wundervoll?) Antwort.
Herzlich.
:)
oh my god! how old is she? she can express her feeling through music!!
Beautiful!! Bravo Mitsuko!!!
Simply perfect IMHO! The piano acts like an extension of her body. Deep integration.
the entire time i was completely mezmorized this is an outstanding concerto and performance and its beauty is the reason i pick up my violin every day :)
This is just another great playing of Uchida. Great interpretation on this movement. Very pretty. Her touch is perfect.
This is a splendid interpretation of a great work of art. Thank you for posting it. Uchida is a great scholar and a great performer.
Simplesmente magnífico.
I would love to see this Piano Concerto live, I think it is beautiful.
Emmanuel Ax was scheduled to play in Cincinnati this spring and I had tickets.Unfortunately Covid canceled everything.
Well said, Maximillian. Love your comment. You are cool, man! Love you
I'd say judging from her expression one can see how high she is. I find it to be beautiful, poetry, seeing this old lady in such state of joy. one can only envy her feelings at those moments. either envy or... understand. :) and see how her musicality is only enhanced or glorified by her expression
Good idea !
@memokk: Japanese lady, my friend; an extremely intelligent and immensely gifted Japanese lady at that.
one of my favorite Mozart tunes.
Obviously sometimes she doesn’t have a very clear idea about what to do with her hands when conducting and the musicians solve that trying not to see her very much. Anyway she has an impressive sense of tempo and of course she knows every thiny detail of Mozart aesthetics which is enough to create that magic in spite her herratic and distracting direction.
Wonderful!
in the beginning she plays the left hand so hauntingly well compared to all other performances I've seen on youtube.. the sound is like a heartbeat
When you are in love with what you do! It is impossible to hide your emotions. If you think for one moment Ushida is faking her emotions you know little about the far east and their well known lackof display of emotional feelings her level of display is quadruple her national standard reaction. She is in love believe it!!!!
Uchida is one of the best exponents of Mozart there is. Just as Pires, and Pollini are near peerless at Chopin, so Uchida is near peerless with Mozart. Most pianists don't stick with Mozart, prefferring to move to other composers,but Uchida has built her whole career on playing Mozart (well most of the time!) and it's more than paid off for her, as plaudits have come her way over the years from other great pianists (both alive and dead),and many of the world's top orchestra's. Fiery and dynamic.
Again i do not remember my comment that upset so many of you and I am not judging her artistic expression at all as the maestro played. What I did mention was the smirk on the first violinist's face as she is trying not to laugh out loud. Surely now how can that observation be construed as a negative comment.
the thing that separates Mozart from any other composer is that his music does not at all sound "manmade." it essentially sounds like music in its natural, purest state. for example Beethoven's music, while excellent, has a very "human" quality to it, almost flawed (in a good way). i guess it depends on which approach you value more, though Mozart is my all time fav
The awesome Mitsuko Uchida is amazing! And she conducts from the piano as well. Simply Superb!!
a very brilliant piece indeed.
I would love to see her play someday! (*^_^*)
Amazing! 1:29 - 1:42
intergalagtic Mozart. The Miracle man.His music is so Sane and healing,you cant come away from a Mozart piece without being a better Human being.
This must be one of the most amazing performances I've ever heard. The word awesome is way too short. Good day to all!
Francisco Sunderland how about supecalifragilisticexpialidosouse (I spelled it wrong ^~^)
Yeah she gets it too.
Besides Annerose Schmidt I mean.
When was this whole fascinating orchestra performed!?
The most ROMANTIC music!!!
@Maximillian17 those, my friend, were wise and precise words
Mediocrities everywhere...I absolve you.
She ist the best interpreter of Mozart!
so cute the ornaments she added ;-)
great lady i love her playing that lovely music
yes, we all are, whether we know it or not
Maravilloso!!!
M A R A V I L H O S O !!!
「内田光子」と名付けられた有機体。その発する能力にどんどんと吸い込まれてゆく。
Because Mozart gave freedom of interpretation, and Uchida is one of best n doing exactly that.
Search yourself, and tell me it sounds out of place?
:)
Superbe,cette execution...J aime Mitzuko....
@besamemucho5 jajaja no claro que no, me encanta toda la cancha que le pone al tocar
Why, oh why is that terrible stocatto at 04:05? It all started so good, about perfect, but it was ruined by wrong choice.
Never do it kids.
as far as all the facial expressions go, I'm sure musicians could control their faces however they want as ballerinas do (and I'm sure inwardly ballerinas are screaming from being on pointe, but they still smile!), it's just not as important. I think it'd be funny to film ourselves playing piano! and make bets on what facial style we'd be (Uchida, poker face, scowling, peaceful, etc.)
@Maximillian17 Well said !!!
woooooow... maestra.....
A line of melody runs hauntingly and serenely right through the movement The middle part, though, has no real melody, but a sheet of ingraining pointalistic resonance.
A big favourite of mine. Don't really know anything better than this, except maybe from Mozart self.
Fabuloso aparece cortado no hasta el final jaime guzman desde chile
@flingalbunt Not speaking of Gould's humming and facial expressions and overall boy expression! :O:O:O
;-)
Watching her uninhibited joy as she plays this music, I can understand why she probably has stayed with Mozart. She loves the sheer joy of it as, say, compared to the melancholy drama of Rachmaninoff or the often tormented music of Beethoven.
Why the "ornaments" between 2:17 and 2:44. This is not a cadenza time..
It seems to me being disrespectful not only to Mozart genius,but to music lovers alike specially in such a well known and beloved masterpiece.
Good and sensitive performance, otherwise.
@Jitpring I agree in the first part, but I don't think there's anything wrong in listening to Mozart, Beethoven or Bach (for example) as background music. A lot of string quartets, symphonies, etc. were made for background music at parties etc.
@Lity10 I'll tell you why,because people are not stupid and can feel when it's genuine.This lady is obviously very special,her expressions genuine,her playing unique.When something's true you feel it and vice versa.
Every generation has genius!...
I used to be a purist, but then I realised that it is shutting out greatness that is all too true!!
... the preference of styles is individual, but their greatness is not denyable.
OMG is she the recarnation of mozart? LOl. but her expression looks a bit exaggerated...no? Lol ive never seen anyone with this kind of expression when playing piano.
Oh dear. I totally forgot about my comment. Whatever it was it must have been said tongue in cheek. As to Mitsuko laughing at me ...well I would be honored.
I'm no pianist but that sounds to me like one of the best, if not THE best version. Interesting facial expressions, but she's obviously SO into it...
Uchinda is into her world of Mozart and she is certainly not high as anyone can plainly see. You need all your brain cells to do that kind of work.
@Lity10 well you would've lost the bet because I actually enjoy listening to Lang Lang.Unfortunately once I try and look at him I get distracted...
Someone gave me a negative rating for my comment 3 weeks ago. I honestly meant that the performance moved me tremendously. I wasn't being facetious.
This movement may be my favorite of all the Mozart PCs. She and the orchestra play it beautifully. Does anyone know who she's performing with here ?
Se l'uomo è stato capace di creare questo, com'è possibile che poi compia tante brutture!
wonderful !!!
@geisterbahn1
No matter if all politicians sit around a campfire and roasting mushmello and singing songs. There are evil people in the world.
Wowo, Wonderful playing.
i like to much the way she moves. cant express wht is, but understand.
music is far away from humanity. this is divinity.
Funny how no one comments on her facial expressions, while a lot comment on Lang Lang's. People just mock him because everybody else does.
Before Politicians decide to have a war! why not send them all to a mozart concert . Im sure the war would be cancelled the next day.
@Lity10 actually,yeah.He's very musical but his face expressions are way off.Or to be more precise,they're a way to show off.
I don't think Mozart would approve of Uchida's bathroom facial contortions. Also Uchida lacks a qualit y of Mozart: optimism.
