Uchita's Mozart interpretation is unbeatable, is in its own league above all others, as if she was born as Mozart's contemporary or even in his family. Mozart smiles in the heaven whenever he hears Uchita's playing of his music.
Fantastic, just sublime. I heard her in London recently with two Mozart concertos, I have never heard such exquisite and imaginative playing from anyone. It can be so hard to find recordings of this composer that really satisfy - Uchida has everything in my opinion. Thanks for posting!
I just heard this for the first time on Minnesota Classical Public Radio recently and took note of the title. I just listened to a few youtube by famous composers, and then this one. This one is so superior. I will definitely look at more works by Mitsuko Uchida. This is, as someone else said, "sublime."
I once read of a survey done to see if listeners with no visual clues could tell whether the (classical) pianists playing were male or female. Interestingly, the more musically educated the listeners the less certain they were of the sex of a performer; and when any of the top pianists were tested, they had to admit they simply couldn't tell whether the performer was male or female.
A far better interpretation than the Lang Lang performance presented at BBC Proms. This is far more consistant, and in keeping with Mozart's somewhat "no nonsense" approach. Well done :)
I saw Uchida play the Chopin e-minor concerto in London before I knew about her being a Mozart specialist. I agree with all comments - she is the greatest Mozart player in all of history living or dead, is it safe to stay that she plays Mozart even better than Mozart himself?
@reinehcreinehc one day, horowitz heard someone outstanding in the radio, and thought he was man; it was martha argerich playing... he was struck when he knew it was woman
well to be honest, professionals aren't meant to slip up and even if they did, they have the skill to disguise the mistakes anyway. also, why female pianists? She's the best pianist (obviously my favourite) I know. Of course, that is open to discussion but surely why just female pianists?
I think you may be missing the point. Iospazio is trying to point out the sexism in pianololita's comment. Why is there a need to discriminate between female and male pianists.
@pianololita: I heard her slip twice: Once LIVE in the beginning of the Carnival, and again on UA-cam in the beginning of Beethoven's Emperor. It appears she just gets a little nervous when opening a piece. lol But she's still my absolute favorite "female" pianist. ( : The Queen of Mozart!
@wingklow Uchida is much better than Gould imo because Gould messed up the tempo, and doesnt do any ARTICULATION Gould is amazing at Bach-I wont argue about that, but he isnt as good as Uchida when it comes to Mozart.
@lospazio you can hear female when they play piano... they alway have something.. you can't tell it.. you just fell it... Women are really awesome. -a pianist how love women
I wish she would lighten up on the resolutions of the eighth-note appogiaturas - DOWN up, instead of DOWN UP, if you know what I mean. These regularly occurring two-note figures would sound more gracefully musical. She is a tremendous pianist and musician, but this Mozart could come alive and breathe a bit more. Rat-a-tat-tat, too much of the time. Typewriterish, almost.
Absolutely!! She gives me so much positive energy each time I listen to her... She plays with an imagination & an intensity that are seldom heard.
Uchida is one of the few people that can make even the most ardent Mozart haters feel the emotion in his music.
Uchita's Mozart interpretation is unbeatable, is in its own league above all others, as if she was born as Mozart's contemporary or even in his family. Mozart smiles in the heaven whenever he hears Uchita's playing of his music.
Beautiful interpretation of the piece... It is very clean and crystal clear. Thanks for uploading!

最爱的作曲家就是莫扎特，演奏者处理得很细腻！
Best rendition of this song. She plays with so much heart and soul. If this doesn't put a smile on your face, then you suck. All I can say.
I think Uchida is wonderful. There is none better!
Ms. Uchida is the person who makes me loves Mozart's pieces.
Uchida breaths the life into this little masterpiece. This is the best interpretation by far! Bravo!
Miss Uchida is a perfect role model for me! :) Thanks!
内田光子さんのピアノはロンドンで一回聴いたが、年を経る毎にだんだんと透明になっていく。既にモーツァルトその人です。
内田さんの演奏をまだ聴いたことがなく…とても羨ましいです。
神が宿っているような、奇跡のような音色ですね。
"Thumbs Up", "Like", etc. She is the foremost living interpreter of Mozart in my (non-musicologist's) opinion...
Uchida is the greatest living interpreter of Mozart... She is divine...

I love this piece... ;)

its fun to play this
thanks for uploading :)
Bravo
she plays it so well~ I'm playing this for my grade 8...sigh.
This piece was hella hard for me to learn, and I really regret letting it slip away from my fingers. She plays it beautifully.
PIANO SHREDDING
Studying this for A2 music~
"Hannibal" brought me here....exquisite!
TheEleventhIndian oh wow really?? cool
진짜 잘친다
@reinehcreinehc one day, horowitz heard someone outstanding in the radio, and thought he was man; it was martha argerich playing... he was struck when he knew it was woman
ty
does anybody know if there is a performance version of this?
I tried looking, nothing! Not even other movements/whole thing
In Mozart less is more. She knew that once long ago.
verygoodlove
Like is music A - level took you here :)
well to be honest, professionals aren't meant to slip up and even if they did, they have the skill to disguise the mistakes anyway.

oh my lord help me help me
I think there is a comment saying this on every single piece of classical music on youtube
I have to analyze this song for my music theory final....
it sure made me laugh
2022?
@pianololita: I heard her slip twice: Once LIVE in the beginning of the Carnival, and again on UA-cam in the beginning of Beethoven's Emperor. It appears she just gets a little nervous when opening a piece. lol
But she's still my absolute favorite "female" pianist.

What was that debacle of a paragraph even trying to communicate?
@wingklow

Gould is amazing at Bach-I wont argue about that, but he isnt as good as Uchida when it comes to Mozart.
Nice sum up Kyle
U didn't even listen Chris
ik, ik
Nice summary, kyle
That was pretty good, kyle

The only performance of this sonata I like SLIGHTLY (just slightly) better is Horowitz's.
Yeet
Very nice (why all the racist and sexist comments???) :)
Anyone here from cibors class?
I am currently taking AP Music Theory and Symphony Band with Cibor
Wonderful to listen to, but torture to watch her.
Are you the BFG?
내가 쳣던거다! 찻아봤는데이게 여기있었구나!
ㅎㅈ야 나도 이거 친다^^
Mozart would kiss her!!!
@baccopennay not even a little bit.
@pianololita Female pianists? Why not just "pianists"?
@dammitdepinna Even though I'm a Chopindiva!
내가 칠거다!!!근데....이 사람이 누구예요?
인빛 우치다예요
is it just me or is this a little too fast?
I think it is excellent - but a little too fast
why hide the fact that shes a female?
I do not like any keylion behavior..
1:18 so loud the b!
Because most of the famous pianists are male.
because males are way better
Amazing
Mozart would kiss her!!!
