Today I travelled from Switzerland to Brescia in Italy to see Mrs. Uchida play Mozart. For lunch I went into a restaurant and there she sat alone at a table having lunch. I went to her table and told her that I came from Switzerland to see her tonight. She said that she will have to make an extra effort to reward my journey. Haha, who would have thought that my trip would be rewarded with this chance encounter.
Мицуко Учида феноменальна! ❤🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏💐💐💐 Когда слышу 20 ре-минорный Концерт Моцарта, уникальный, неповторимый, единственный, кажется, в музыкальном мире, по этой патетике, страстности и пронзительной красоте тем, хочется рыдать от восторга и чувства прекрасного, которые накрывают с головой! И этот Романс 2 части с его драматичной серединой! У меня нет слов!! 🙌🙌🙌🌹🌹🌹 Спасибо, что Моцарт был так чуток к голосу Бога. Это дар Божий! 🙏🙏🙏
Wait a minute . This woman was directing the orchestra and this piece never had so much emotion before than I’ve ever heard ! And then , I looked away for a minute to feed my cat . So when I got back , She was playing the piano and directing !!!! She is a force !!❤😻🥰❤️
I've never seen someone play and conduct at the same time, though I have heard of it. Totally cool. When she first flourished her hands over the top of the piano I didn't know she was going to conduct--I thought she was blessing the piano or conjuring the spirits of good performance, LOL!
How can anyone speak a word about her faces. She is playing with so much enthusiasme. She is enjoying, feeling, losting herself so deeply in this godamn music. It's like a child who's having fun. I really don't feel like it's acted, i feel like she is so connected to the present moment as she plays. This is amazing. Every solists should look at her and be inspired.
Mozart has this uncanny ability to compose music that is the heights of ecstatic playfulness whilst simultaneously tinged with sorrowful yearning. All this brought to life by this woman's wonderful performance.
La miglior concertazione tra strumento e orchestra che si possa comporre o immaginare. Mozart è un'esperienza così intima che diventa un percorso religioso dove non prevale il bene o il male, dove non c'è luce né tenebra, bensì la vita stessa, con tutte le sue espressioni
25 minutes, 3 movements, 397 bars, over 20 musicians, AND NO SCORE, EITHER FOR THE ORCHESTRA OR THE PIANO. Not a single mistake in either the execution or the direction. How can such perfection be possible? This woman is pure magic. Impressive!
@@jeanmariefagon Certainly musicians do have sheet music, but I was referring to Ms. Uchida, who doesn't use sheet music for her instrument (the piano) or to conduct the orchestra. THAT'S awesome to me, and every time I see this video it impacts me more and more.
french would say "tout en finesse" ... it seems she's dropping the notes like water from a source. Magic, happiness and harmony. She is not playing the music, she's sharing a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing ❤
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. Mozart speaks to us through the ages about the entire range of human emotion. It makes my heart ache and then jump for joy.. and everything in between. This is the apex of human achievement. And the performance is masterful.
this is an amazing piece, although I had sort of thought that his 41st symphony , particularly the 4the movement, and in exterem particularly , about a 2 minute stretch before the end of that 4th movement was the absolute apex of music ever. he had written it as a symphony fugue, and had 5 different incredibly amazing powerful lines of musical melodies all played at the same time at that moment in the piece and made it work 100%of course there is this, but then again, there are different apexes of music Mozart achieved, I mean that requiem mass is just amazing even though he only wrote like half of it but laid out the work for what he didn't completely finish so it was really close to what he wanted, but the stuff he finished himself was just beyond incredible. all the operas like magic flute, don giovani, marriage of Figaro and many others were just beyon compare, the flute and harp piece is literally what it probably sounds like in heaven, as well as one other piece he wrote I can't remember the name of right now. and that music at the very beginning of Amadeus, the 25the symphony, well, he was only 17 when he wrote that. Mozart as a musical genius is literally the apex of music as a whole!just think, just imagine, if he lived only a mere 10 years longer what we would have heard, and now imagine if he lived to retirement age of 65 what we would have had, it is almost incomprehensible
John Adams yes, let's just forget about Mahler, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Brahms, Dvořák, none of them wrote anything that could be considered the apex of music
How can this only have 47k likes? One of the single most beautiful pieces ever written and done spectacularly. Motzart’s music is exciting, beautiful, playful, dramatic, longing, dramatic, dreamy, heartbreaking, breathtaking and phenomenal. Theres a reason his music is still studied and performed today. It stands the test of time. His music is a spiritual experience.
An utterly magnificent performance of one of (if not my) most loved Mozart Piano Concerto's. Dame Mitsuko Uchida is a living legend - and long may she continue to be!
Почему я люблю дирижеров? Особенно восхищаюсь женщинами, кто пришел в эту великую профессию. Смотрите на эту красивую женщину британскую ПИАНИСТКУ и ДИРИЖЕРА Мицуко Утида и восхищайтесь тем, что среди нас есть такие одаренные, кому подвластна великая музыка, и они способны создавать ее с помощью музыкантов своего оркестра!!! ВЫ будете слушать это произведение и с закрытыми глазами, лежа на своем диване, и просто рядом с другими делами, которые будет делать под эти звуки. ВЫ вернетесь к этим прекрасным звукам обязательно МНОГО РАЗ, потому что музыка Моцарта, пианистка - дирижер М. Утида, оркестр слишком хороши, чтобы ВЫ быстро забыли их.
Its nice to think Mozart composed this piece when he was the most happiest. His son was born and his wife and father (who was visiting Vienna) were finally getting along.
The perfect evenness of playing. The oh so subtle touches of tone. The wide gamut of color that Mitsuku can bring to these delicate lines. I had a CD signed by her after a concert in NY. When I mentioned how she inspired me to start practicing again, she beamed and said, "Isn't it just a joy to play! Yes! Just to play!" She is a gift.
***** I agree. I've performed this piece and it is exhilirating to play as well. One of his masterpieces, IMHO. Also, there's some Beethovenesque stuff in the first movement if you ask me.
Andy S That's what happened when Mozart goes berserk. One of his most unconventional pieces. Perhaps that's why you associate him with the wild and rebellious Beethoven.
Sure..I hear quotes of this in lots of Beethovens works..for example the descending four notes at 1:28 is identical with what Beethoven did in the 1st mov. of the Waldstein sonata.
Not a single moment of this performance was devoid of enchantment. Listening to this interpretation is like rediscovering the sound of Mozart. Thank you for sharing this.
I try to imagine what Mozart's face would have looked like if a 17 YO Rachmaninoff came to Mozart for lessons and whipped out his 3rd Piano Concerto to play for him. "Jesus Christ, kid, what planet are you from?"
@@alhdgysz I like Alfred Brendel's version better, but obversily it goes from Mozart to not even close, no matter who tryes.. It saddens me, he didn't live to finish this masterpiece. I actually hope Alma Deutscher will some day have a go at it, as she is the most brilliant and intelligent composer since Mozart him self. What she did to cinderella is absolutely genius. I can't wait to see what her future holds. ------> Cinderella full opera enjoy. ruclips.net/video/ibvaw1eEaDk/видео.html
I am trying to image Wolfgang, playing and conducting the very first performance of this concerto, with his own piano with pedal-board. But this lady...I am speechless....
I don't think a professional, well rehearsed orchestra needs conducting in a Mozart concerto any more than a string quartet does, but yes, great talent!
Absolutely, the best k466 performance ever. It is overwhelming and unsurpassed. Especially in the third movement, I can really hear angels singing. Literally God-given talent
I just watched this again and I got totally overwhelmed to the point of tears. I'm still at work. It's just magnificent!!! Uchida is just... I mean, she's JUST!!!
That's not only playing piano or conducting an orchestra. It's something much more than this. Mitsuko Uchida is a true artist will be always on the Earth with her music!
Francis, people in general do not understand what the lovers of excellent music feel when listening to a concert like this. I have lost several "friends" who are completely unable to understand what I feel when listening to Wagner, Mozart, Beethoven.....
Haha, I think there are some people who don't like really dramatic reactions to music. I don't either, but if the music is good, I'm fine (And in this case, it's great!) Also, obviously I'm not a conductor, but her fingers when she conducts....... For an example of bad playing but over-dramatic reactions, cue attention to Joshua Bell's Ciaconna
I dont see a single flaw in this rendition. Some renditions are either too fast or too slow some are high in the wrong places and low in the wrong places but this here is perfect.100%
Wonderful...the music, and the performance. As Haydn famously said to Mozart's dad on the night Mozart performed this piece..."before God and as an honest man I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me."
After searching the net... I hold this version of the concerto to be the best :) She is absolutely amazing, the dynamics, tempo, playfulness... it's also good sound. Although I also like Gulda's version, this is the one I listen to daily.
Oh, this is such a beautiful performance, sublime Mozartian technique & her conducting proves that she is in total control of this wonderful concerto, her expertise is right there, in the moment...delightful...l♡ved every minute. Bravo!!! I am a fan.
Uchida, очень глубокий Музыкант, обладающая филигранной техникой. Её звук невероятно живой, приближенный к человеческой речи. Играть и дирижировать - это непросто, но пианизм безупречно убедительный и не отпускает от себя до конца. Можно сказать магнетический пианизм - во всём исполнении такая Любовь к Моцарту, такая солнечность и прозрачность звучания, что даже минор снимает шляпу перед Сиянием Моцарта. ЕдиноДушие оркестра и солистки накаляют зал и купают одновременно в штриховой выточенности каждой фразы, каждого мотива и дышат одним содержанием сочинения. Очень красивое видео, дающее эстетическое наслаждение и слуху, и глазам. Браво этому слаженному коллективу! Высокий профессионализм музыкантов заслуживает моего восхищения. 👏👏👏👏👏
Je n'ai pas de mots assez puissants pour décrire les émotions. J'ai été submergée. Merci. Deux talents de génie réunis, Mozart et Mitsuko Uchida. Une interprétation inspirée par la grâce, le travail et le don ! MERCI.
VICTOR LOZANO ORTIGOSA I SAW HER IN PERSON 😀 she was AWESOME. My school brought the eight grade band members to symphony hall in boston, and we watched her rehearse
One of the worlds best pianist and performer of Mozart alive today. I had no idea that Mitsuko Uchida also conducted her performances. That was a wonderful surprice. I would have loved to be one of the musicians in this orchestra. Mitsuko is so clear in how and where she wants the music to go. Fantastic!❤
The best orchestral introduction to this piece I have ever heard. Very syncopated and savage. Love her playing and what she awakens in the orchestra in this piece.
Feel the stress developing in the harmonies. I could listen to this every day and find new nuances in her interpretation. The orchestral backing is superb. They sense the inner turmoil of Mozart that she is producing in this performance
The shaping of this performance defies speech. Exhilarating, alternatively sweet and pleasing, ominous... mkaes one wonder how one could do without Mozart. No way.
Yes, I saw her many times in Chicago and treasure each performance. Once I met her at a signing and for a moment we spoke as friends. No one quite like her.
The perfect pianist/conductor performing the perfect piano concerto with the perfect orchestra in the perfect city. Is it a dream or am I old and already in heaven? Yes, it must be heaven. 🌺
I have no words to describe the feeling listening to this masterpiece, my favorite Mozart piano concert ever, so much power, so much love, takes my breath away....
The Passion of Mozart’s entire life is flashing in this one concerto. And in this inspired performance, Uchida is tapping into that life logos of Mozart. Note her eyes are mostly closed during the performance and when they are open, she is not looking at the physical objects.
Whenever I listened to his music of Mozart’s d minor piano concerto, I can’t help but hum the melody-the melodic themes-together! The themes are so lyrical and singable. All the descriptions by others are so true to Mozart’s music. You can never become tired or bored of his music and Uchida’s expression of it. So beautiful indeed.
Mitzuko Uchida, congratulations. you play Mozart better than any one. you are the best player of Mozar. feel the music, feel the piano, the orchesta. Thanks for make us happy!!!!!!
Uchida is a treasure. I have spent the morning watching/listening to Mozart concerti played by some of the biggest names on stage. I heard fingers missing spirit. I heard spirit with spongy fingers. I heard over-calculation. Now I am listen to this, this volcano both play and conduct, and crying my eyes out. An Uchida Mozart performance should be a bucket-list item for people--even if they have to travel to hear it. A bonus is cadenzas by Beethoven, who captured the spirt of this great work.
So very moving and beautiful. To see and hear the interplay between piano and orchestra, with Madame Uchida so masterfully being both pianist and conductor, is a delight. The depth of emotion combined with technical mastery of every musician here brought me to tears. Fabulous!
+Andy S Looks brilliant to me. With such expressive and precise movements , the orchestra knows exactly what she requires. Soloists conduct very frequently, especially with chamber orchestras. Are you saying this because she's a woman? If so , you're living in the nineteenth century !
Se o próprio Mozart estivesse presente na plateia estaria emocionado com o desempenho dessa grande pianista japonesa que, além do mais, sabe conduzir uma orquestra sinfônica como poucos e sente-se a emoção no ar , impressionante.
Professional and with feeling. The whole orchestra plays as one. And the way Mozart has put the piano along with the rest of the instruments is just the way I like it. The piano is a part of the symphony as a whole, not a soloinstrument as in many other symphonies I've heard. All the different instruments works in harmony and as one big force of music. It's glorious. If I could write symphonies, I would do it exactly like that.
Absolutely divine. As she stood in front of the piano and orchestra, I thought, my god, she has all that music in her head and her hands. Amazing. Stunning performance by this perfect orchestra, too.
We saw/heard Ms. Uchida a number of years ago with the amazing Chicago Symphony Orchestra. She played two Mozart concertos, and thoroughly entranced us. She is a gem.
Morart and Ms. Uchida had a spiritual connection! They understood each other very well, and she interpreted the piece wonderfully! A Great expert in many classical music. Salute! 🥰🤭🤗
Never seen playing and conducting at the same time, such intense emotions when I see how much she loves Mozart's music and expresses it, a real genius! Now I saw something absolutely new and unfamiliar to me, and I really love it now.
Today I travelled from Switzerland to Brescia in Italy to see Mrs. Uchida play Mozart. For lunch I went into a restaurant and there she sat alone at a table having lunch. I went to her table and told her that I came from Switzerland to see her tonight. She said that she will have to make an extra effort to reward my journey. Haha, who would have thought that my trip would be rewarded with this chance encounter.
Omg, I was at that concert too!!! I hope you enjoyed your trip to Italy ❤️❤️

Mozart is magic, and Mitsuko Uchida is a magician.
Agreed.

I've been listening to this while I work, and when the video ends, I play it again. I love this. It's beautiful!
A performance like this raises up the human race above the trivial and trite of the daily existence. Bravo
Except it also raised lots of trivial comments here.
Absolutely right. I listen to this during exercise while i'm recovering from intense back surgery. ❤

There are many performances of this piece where the pianist conducts the orchestra, but this is by far the best of them in my opinion.
I've never seen someone play and conduct at the same time, though I have heard of it. Totally cool. When she first flourished her hands over the top of the piano I didn't know she was going to conduct--I thought she was blessing the piano or conjuring the spirits of good performance, LOL!
The first flourishing of her hands are the best part, the music goes through the flourishing of her hands forward, extremely precise conducting
Amardeep Singh Love your comment Amardeep
Conjuring the spirits of good performance... that's what conducting essentially is.

This is most impressive to Americans, who are used to every bar being set so low, they are even amazed at mediocrity.

As Haydn famously said to Mozart's dad on the night Mozart performed this piece..."before God and as an honest man I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me."
This was Hadyn's response to the last 3 of the 6 string quartets Mozart dedicated to him.
that is the exact same thing Salieri said to Mozart just before Mozart died in his sleep while assisting him

How do you think Mozart did it you genius?

内田光子さんの、K.466‼️此方のパフォーマンスが世界で一番素晴らしいです👍💝
Oh, this is such a beautiful performance, sublime Mozartian technique & her conducting proves that she is in total control of this wonderful concerto, her expertise is right there, in the moment...delightful...l♡ved every minute. Bravo!!! I am a fan.
It just doesn't get any better than this. Spellbinding. That is all I can say.
Magical, genius, heavenly and goosebumps through it all.
Uchida, очень глубокий Музыкант, обладающая филигранной техникой. Её звук невероятно живой, приближенный к человеческой речи. Играть и дирижировать - это непросто, но пианизм безупречно убедительный и не отпускает от себя до конца. Можно сказать магнетический пианизм - во всём исполнении такая Любовь к Моцарту, такая солнечность и прозрачность звучания, что даже минор снимает шляпу перед Сиянием Моцарта. ЕдиноДушие оркестра и солистки накаляют зал и купают одновременно в штриховой выточенности каждой фразы, каждого мотива и дышат одним содержанием сочинения. Очень красивое видео, дающее эстетическое наслаждение и слуху, и глазам. Браво этому слаженному коллективу! Высокий профессионализм музыкантов заслуживает моего восхищения.
👏👏👏👏👏
Uchida is numero uno. One of the best Mozart interpretations - and her piano playing is flawless, magical even.
she is so good-just amazing ,so emotional playing ,and recording is just perfect.
and Mozart must be smiling in heaven...
Je n'ai pas de mots assez puissants pour décrire les émotions. J'ai été submergée. Merci. Deux talents de génie réunis, Mozart et Mitsuko Uchida. Une interprétation inspirée par la grâce, le travail et le don ! MERCI.
She truly puts her heart and soul into the music, plays passionately with much love
Completely agree! Can totally hear it in the sound the love she has for this music.
Matsuko Uchida is simply brilliant.
I listen and listen and listen AGAIN, AND AGAIN, .... I always enjoy this concerto. Mitsuki Uchida I LOVE YOU!.
Marry her then.
Мицуке 68 лет
ошибся 66 и она замужем
VICTOR LOZANO ORTIGOSA I SAW HER IN PERSON 😀 she was AWESOME. My school brought the eight grade band members to symphony hall in boston, and we watched her rehearse
завидую вам !!! Она великолепный исполнитель
One of the worlds best pianist and performer of Mozart alive today. I had no idea that Mitsuko Uchida also conducted her performances. That was a wonderful surprice. I would have loved to be one of the musicians in this orchestra. Mitsuko is so clear in how and where she wants the music to go. Fantastic!❤
Mitsuko is in one word....wonderful!
The best orchestral introduction to this piece I have ever heard. Very syncopated and savage. Love her playing and what she awakens in the orchestra in this piece.
Still can’t get enough of this interpretation, even after a few years of listening to it.
Wow! Genial!!!
Zwischen Sanftmut, Träumen, Fantasia und Aufbegehren.
Noch nie habe ich Mozart so vernommen.
Tausend Dank!!! ❤
👌👏👏👏
私は専門家ではありませんが、モーツアルトのK466をいろいろ聞き比べてみると、ピアニストの解釈としてはこの方のが一番生理的に気持ちよく感じます。時間としても34~35分が理想のように思われます。ピアニストが同時に指揮者のためなのかピアノと他の楽器との補完関係が見事なお蔭で、ピアノを強調させるためにオーケストラが少し引いた感じを受ける他の演奏に比べて一体感があり、モーツアルトの作曲家としての理想に近づいているのでないかと思いました。
I totally agree with you .
あらためて聴きなおしてみると、確かにお説のとおりかもしれませんね!
I think this is one of the best-interpreted performance of the piece. the musical flow is very elegant yet grandiose.
I got all choked up watching this performance. The music, the musicians, the conductor. Oh my!
The music, the musicians, the conductor. Oh my!
Oh YES ! Oh YES ! Oh YES ! already after 3 bars, she was moving my heart & my eyes got wet. Thanks for this performance heard in Sweden 2015/16.
+ndansome the high you get from listening to this is better than any drug, coming from an ex-drug user.
+Sluff Adlin I combine ;-)
i never knew that a piano soloist could take the role of being the conductor! D:
I should thank the conductor of the orchestra for sharing the joy of this beautiful performance with audiences.

Even when both hands are occupied with playing, Ms Uchida is conducting through the forward energy and clarity of each phrase rising from the piano.
Gracias Mozart por tan bella música y gracias por tan maravillosa interpretacion
Feel the stress developing in the harmonies. I could listen to this every day and find new nuances in her interpretation. The orchestral backing is superb. They sense the inner turmoil of Mozart that she is producing in this performance
This is the best performance ever , it is a cure for mind and healing to our souls
Con estos músicos, me da orgullo el gérnero humano y haber vivido para escucharlos.
The shaping of this performance defies speech. Exhilarating, alternatively sweet and pleasing, ominous... mkaes one wonder how one could do without Mozart. No way.
how can you not love this woman. Bravo.
Brava is better lol
Not brave?

Bravo is for male, brava is for female ( it's not a english word, that's Spanish)
Yes, I saw her many times in Chicago and treasure each performance. Once I met her at a signing and for a moment we spoke as friends. No one quite like her.
The perfect pianist/conductor performing the perfect piano concerto with the perfect orchestra in the perfect city. Is it a dream or am I old and already in heaven? Yes, it must be heaven. 🌺
The more recordings of her I listen to, the more I'm blown away. She interprets Mozart and Beethoven near perfectly!
I have no words to describe the feeling listening to this masterpiece, my favorite Mozart piano concert ever, so much power, so much love, takes my breath away....
It's also my favourite Mozart piano concerto. Daniel Baranboim's my usual go to, but this just hits it out of the park.
The Passion of Mozart’s entire life is flashing in this one concerto. And in this inspired performance, Uchida is tapping into that life logos of Mozart. Note her eyes are mostly closed during the performance and when they are open, she is not looking at the physical objects.
@@jaylinn416 Like any true artist, she's in 'the zone'.
I feel exactly the same 😉
To me, the best Mozart's piano concert. After this one, not much known but very beautiful, the
9th Concert
her modesty is the inner treasure that she performs on the piano, hearing her live is an extraordinary experience...
Whenever I listened to his music of Mozart’s d minor piano concerto, I can’t help but hum the melody-the melodic themes-together! The themes are so lyrical and singable. All the descriptions by others are so true to Mozart’s music. You can never become tired or bored of his music and Uchida’s expression of it. So beautiful indeed.
Mitzuko Uchida, congratulations. you play Mozart better than any one. you are the best player of Mozar. feel the music, feel the piano, the orchesta. Thanks for make us happy!!!!!!
Uchida is a treasure. I have spent the morning watching/listening to Mozart concerti played by some of the biggest names on stage. I heard fingers missing spirit. I heard spirit with spongy fingers. I heard over-calculation. Now I am listen to this, this volcano both play and conduct, and crying my eyes out. An Uchida Mozart performance should be a bucket-list item for people--even if they have to travel to hear it. A bonus is cadenzas by Beethoven, who captured the spirt of this great work.
So very moving and beautiful. To see and hear the interplay between piano and orchestra, with Madame Uchida so masterfully being both pianist and conductor, is a delight. The depth of emotion combined with technical mastery of every musician here brought me to tears. Fabulous!
Each note is delivered with power, precision, and with an emotional tone. Amazing.
lovely, energetic, emotional, solid: she has a Mozart inside
Yes,exactly.maybe W.A.Mozart has the exactly character.
***** Which biographers?
***** yes but she shouldn't conduct. Looks very unnatural.
+Andy S Looks brilliant to me. With such expressive and precise movements , the orchestra knows exactly what she requires. Soloists conduct very frequently, especially with chamber orchestras. Are you saying this because she's a woman? If so , you're living in the nineteenth century !
+Andy S as conductor she's doing nothing. that orchestra plays this music without conductor. she's just a decoration. (a show off disgusting one)
Se o próprio Mozart estivesse presente na plateia estaria emocionado com o desempenho dessa grande pianista japonesa que, além do mais, sabe conduzir uma orquestra sinfônica como poucos e sente-se a emoção no ar , impressionante.
Uno dei più emozionanti concerti per pianoforte e orchestra di tutti i tempi! Grande, grandissimo Mozart!
A wonderful performance - a true artist, she feels every note.
Susannah MacDonald Is there a better performance? None come to my mind.
You can play if you try . My dear sis
I heartily agree.
Can’t agree more
When Mozart's father read orchestration in the third movement, he cried.
how did you know that?
@@araortegajaimes6605 From Leopold's letter to Wolfgang, as well as his sister, Nannerl. This is also mentioned in Mozart's biography.
@@StanObirek thanks!
YOU ARE A LEGEND🎻🎻🎻🎻🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺
Mozart father was the best thing happened to Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart, his sacrifices didn't go waste, here we are talking about him after 230 years.
She is feeling, living the music! I just love her.
She feels it. She feels something, but that has nothing to with Mozart.
Listen to Fischer Anna's recording...
Professional and with feeling. The whole orchestra plays as one.
And the way Mozart has put the piano along with the rest of the instruments is just the way I like it. The piano is a part of the symphony as a whole, not a soloinstrument as in many other symphonies I've heard. All the different instruments works in harmony and as one big force of music. It's glorious. If I could write symphonies, I would do it exactly like that.
Absolutely divine. As she stood in front of the piano and orchestra, I thought, my god, she has all that music in her head and her hands. Amazing. Stunning performance by this perfect orchestra, too.
00:55 Allegro (in D minor)
15:40 Romanze (in B-flat major)
24:38 Allegro assai (in D minor, ending in D major)
We saw/heard Ms. Uchida a number of years ago with the amazing Chicago Symphony Orchestra. She played two Mozart concertos, and thoroughly entranced us. She is a gem.
Morart and Ms. Uchida had a spiritual connection! They understood each other very well, and she interpreted the piece wonderfully! A Great expert in many classical music. Salute! 🥰🤭🤗
Never seen playing and conducting at the same time, such intense emotions when I see how much she loves Mozart's music and expresses it, a real genius! Now I saw something absolutely new and unfamiliar to me, and I really love it now.

莫札特的神作!內田光子女士彈下的第一鍵觸動到我的心靈。她連譜都不用看,真是神乎其技… Incredible!!
真的,有些音樂家也很厲害但我會當背景音樂聽,而她的我就會全程觀看XDD
It's like Wolfie wrote this for her....
