I've been kinda obsessed with these for a few months. So grateful this video exists and is on the internet. For the first time ever instead of just listening to them, I sat down and watched the whole performance after having had a month break or so from high level obsession with listening to these. They look absolutely brutal to play, and I wonder if I am insane to think I can attempt them.
If the music won’t leave you alone it can only mean one thing. It wants you to play it and if going for it makes you insane it’s the kind of insanity the world needs.
They're very hard, I've learned two but with each one they get easier, and it's extremely rewarding to learn. Third one I'm learning rn is the sixths etude, feels like on the easiest ones, very comfortable piece.
When one listens enough, one begins to perceive these 12 as one thing. At that point it becomes impossible to chose a favourite: each part is what it is because of the context the others give it. I think of it as Debussy's "Summa", his last will and testament bequeathed to those who follow, those who "get it".
"Rasche Repetition, schlimme Streckerei der Finger und rasches Springen" pianissimo und sehr schön gespielt...! - "Der Herr Debussy will immer Alles so leise und leicht, und flüchtig und fliegend haben."
Wow_that's fantastic. She must be such a strong character mentally. I am sure she had to cope with quite a lot of prejudice during her career. She must have been, and is at present perhaps even more, a real role model for thousands of young pianists.
Regardless of the quality of transfer (from VHS?), I'm so glad this was made available. Enlightening commentary on the pianist's approach to these sublime pieces! Thank you.
I can't believe this was over 35 years ago! No.11 ,just the very opening sometimes comes floating in my head;the melting changes of one harmony into another esp. on today's Steinways is a thing of supreme beauty . Here Uchida really creates a silent world of color.Debussy tries on so many diff hats in the same piece that is a new very 20th century thing it ruins easy listening fer sure but classical serious music is not supposed to be about easy listening . I remember twhen his first came out on digital disk .and blueray-I wassmart or lucky not to invest in it. We are so fortunate to hear and see hertalk about thismusic ! She is so alive ! I can't believe she can just throw out a Chopin thirds etude for eternal film just like that .
Mitsuko war, und ist, eine der begabtesten Pianisten die man überhaupt auf dieser Erde finden kann! Und Sie war es immer. Dazu kommt ein feines Intellekt und eine grenzlose musikalische neugier.....also: eine geniale Musiker und Interpret. Und Sie war es immer. Menschlich ist Sie, noch dazu, eine warme und bescheidene Person. Es ist ein Privileg Sie zu kennen und zu lieben, denn sehr liebenswürdig ist Sie auch!
toothless toe erm. Jesus christ was a man who claimed to be ‘one with God’. An atheist said God could never be man. Yet atheists always imagine humans as gods. I was being sarcastic. I sight read. So visit my profile. 8000 videos.
It's very revealing the way she talks, I don't understand German, coupled with the music, which I know intimately. The music is felt very deeply. Her interpretation is quite staccata like compared to Peter Frankl's rendition from the 70s. The Etudes have been a great inspiration to me. Made me realise what you can do technically.

L'une des prestations musicales les plus éblouissante. Merci infiniment. ❤
Her performance is unfathomable,immeasurable and beyond description
Your comment is meaningless, redundant, and unnecessary

Amazing playing and very very interesting interview! Such a delight to discover this.
Mitsuko Uchida playing is so interesting . Now I can see her explanations are equally fascinating!

Really interesting music! ❤

When I saw her play at Tanglewood it was a game-changer for me. A treasure. And a brilliant and articulate musicologist.
Magical Goddess of the piano. As near to perfection I have experienced. I love you Mitsuko Uchida.
That scarbo snippet in the warmup ❤️
fantastic performances
An ethereal, enigmatic performance of Debussy's transcendental classic etudes! Bravissima Mitsuko Uchida!
Excellent information
Mitsuko’s a god
Jack Curley and you reject Jesus as God because he was a man.
@@gjeacocke And because the OP mentioned the word "god," that means you have to chime in with irrelevant fairy-tale garble?

I'm glad i really found this. Im currently learning pour les octaves.
I never knew she spoke german lol
It sounds so much more natural than english aha
She came to Austria to study at 12 hahaha
How could you tell? Do you speak German? - And why anyway does it matter?
@@yuewenyu8212 You can tell by the Austrian accent :)
German is her first foreign language: she was educated in Vienna.
ドビュッシーの「練習曲集」に関しては内田さんの演奏がいちばん好きだな。大御所も含めて他の人のはちょっと聴いてられない。
暗譜で弾いちまうんだもんな・・・むしろ楽譜なんて見てたら弾けないか。
At 23:32, the talk ends, and music begins.
Wonderful
This is so epic. My favorite is Etude 11.
mine is no 12
My too :)

She lived in Vienna from the time she was 12 through adulthood, so it's not surprising that her German is very good.
Amazing
my favorite version of these etudes

3:13 what is that warmup/piece she was playing?!
Hanon’s virtuoso pianist no.31 (I think)

it's the symphony no. 8 in b minor

え、よく見たら裸足…？！
手を見てたはずなのに

Is she playing barefoot?
Music circulates better that way 😂😂♥️
@@purplehazerunnerx I should try it sometime then lol
The heir to Sokolov...
She holds an unchallend position as an interpreter of Debussy ,
I agree, but aren’t these the only Debussy works she’s recorded?

6 meter lange Konzerflügel? Das ist nicht richtig.
finde mir bitte mal einen 6 Meter langen Konzertflügel.
Not as easy as mozart, beethoven for listeners. I'm trying find something in these music, except nos. 1 & 2 are kind of showpieces.
Aggressive......sounds more like Prokoffiev
