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.
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 ❤
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.
Horwitz is Mozart is phenominal. You would not expect it to be played by him in the way he playes it. There is this great recording in the 50s where he starts with Prokofiev I think (which is evenly phenomial) than switches in an incredible manner.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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
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
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 !!❤😻🥰❤️
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.
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!
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. th-cam.com/video/ibvaw1eEaDk/w-d-xo.html
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 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!!!
***** 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.
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."
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.
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....
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.
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
@@acryingonion Could totally detect the Beethoven @12:20 with the repetitive banging of the same key, and also @12:26. My fav cadenza for this piece. 2 of my musical heroes' joint effort. Do you happen to know when Beethoven wrote it?
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.
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%
+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 !
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
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.
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. 👏👏👏👏👏
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!
the exacting play of both orchestra is so good. Reminds me a bit of Toscanini conducting. Also great recording tech, for once the timpani don't kill everything, just short and to the point
Это исполнение… пианист и оркестр - это не просто музыка, это живая стихия - Мощная! Волшебная! Прекрасная! Захватывает и не отпускает! Великолепно! Спасибо!
Another Maestress performing Wolfie as he would have intended. He would have enjoyed this so much! I have heard many versions, and this is one of the most passionate ever. Thank you, Wolfie, and thank you, Misuko Uchida. You have achieved "last name only" recognition!
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.
I loved Uchida so much when I was little. I still remember when my parents took me to Uchida concert. I was so happy to hear her play. After that concert I really enjoyed it and I even tried to be like her 😂
Yes she is incredible to listen to. I have listened to classical music off and on over my life because my brother loves it. He would leave me with albums when he got tired of them. Mozart is my favorite along with Bach and Hayden, I think. But that is probably because we Re on Germanic descent. It says she was born in Japan but naturalized in England. Also, it appears she is the conductor also, which is interesting. God bless.😮
Flawless! She lets the music flow through her to us. All of these musicians were each enjoying the music as much as all of us listening and watching this incredible performance! She’s so beautiful in and out!
wow, to say this is one of the most phenomenal performances of one of the most miraculous concertos of all time--- is an understatement. The number one most phenomenal piano concerto composed of all time----played by the most phenomenal modern interpretation yet!!!! Hello baby, give it up, turn it loose!!!
Mitsuko Uchida, Thank you so much for a most wonderful rendition of this concerto with the lovely and skilled young orchestra. I'm sure Mozart was with you all in spirit and enjoying himself hugely. He would have loved the new instruments I believe. I'm glad to have heard this. It was bubbly, dramatic, funny and extremely beautifully put together. Thank you all. A great recording. Cathy Jones, Adelaide SA
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.
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.
WOW, Her virtuosity is a privilege for the ear. It's amazing how updated this performance feels on the eve of the Grammy award, as I felt empty, it satisfied my hunger. Her passionate expressions bring out the clarity in this gigantic yet playful concerto - only another is set in a minor key. It's moving yet powerful, lucid yet lyrical. I didn't think Mozart should be played with so much emotional gestures, but I was so blissfully delighted with this performance - I have heard all of the recording out there. How can it be? She's a genius! Love love love.
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
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.
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! 🥰🤭🤗

Mozart brought more beauty into our world in his short life than anyone else who has ever lived.
When two geniuses (Uchida and Mozart) come together, the result is devastating for the emotions.
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."
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

Uchida is numero uno. One of the best Mozart interpretations - and her piano playing is flawless, magical even.
The first time i listened to this concerto i swore this was Beethoven, this is so ahead of Mozart's time. So impressive
late Mozart and early Beethoven are often so close. Sometimes it feels like Mozart's spirit lived on in Beethoven after his much too early demise.
Ignoratti abound.
Beethoven wrote cadenza for mvt 1&3 for this concerto as Uchida played here, and it was allegedly one of Beethoven's favorite.

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.
The more recordings of her I listen to, the more I'm blown away. She interprets Mozart and Beethoven near perfectly!
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.

+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)
Still can’t get enough of this interpretation, even after a few years of listening to it.
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
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.
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
Legendary performance ... said everyone... except 1300 people that watched this with no volume
said everyone that loves to hear a robot play, and never heard buchbinder or gulda
@@inevitablecraftslab Uchida a robot???? LMFAO. Ignorant.
I was moved to tears every time I listened
@@inevitablecraftslab how does she sound like a robot???
The greatest work of music ever written. A masterpiece of emotions and beauty. Uchida and orchestra reign supreme.
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.
👏👏👏👏👏
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!
This is my favorite Mozart piano concerto and this is an immaculate performance of it. The way the orchestra and piano play off each other is sublime.
the exacting play of both orchestra is so good. Reminds me a bit of Toscanini conducting. Also great recording tech, for once the timpani don't kill everything, just short and to the point
her modesty is the inner treasure that she performs on the piano, hearing her live is an extraordinary experience...
Это исполнение… пианист и оркестр - это не просто музыка, это живая стихия - Мощная! Волшебная! Прекрасная! Захватывает и не отпускает! Великолепно! Спасибо!
This is so wonderful. I'm standing in my kitchen applauding lol.
1. Allegro (in D minor) 0:56
2. Romanze (in B-flat major) 15:41
3. Allegro assai (in D minor, ending in D major) 24:37
This should be the first comment. Thanks!
écoutez au lieux de mesurer le temps
this is a triumph. im making a note
How? What parts of the concerto is your timing relating to? What does 0:56 mean - 56 seconds? Again - how?
Ken Karapetian leave youtube..
Божественное исполнение! Низко кланяюсь перед Очико❤Спасибо Вам и оркестр у. Слов нет выразить это счастье,слушая каждый раз 466 Моцарта🎉🎉🎉
❤
МИЦУКО УШИДА-- блестящая пианистка. Глубокое, полнокровное прочтение произведения. Браво!!!
Another Maestress performing Wolfie as he would have intended. He would have enjoyed this so much! I have heard many versions, and this is one of the most passionate ever. Thank you, Wolfie, and thank you, Misuko Uchida. You have achieved "last name only" recognition!
I agree - this is just so on the money.
I think this is one of the best-interpreted performance of the piece. the musical flow is very elegant yet grandiose.
The Best Version I Heard So Far.
Mitsuko Uchida, Maria Joao Pires and Yeol Eum Son engrave the real Mozart in their playing 😭 Such blessings to humanity.
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)
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:
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.
Mozart and Uchida... What a perfect match💙
Hearing Mozart preform this song for the first time must have killed a few people.

Maan Salha Please do not be pedantic, as it can be perceived as rude.
My apologies dear sir.
Sometimes I can't help myself.
I know the feeling.
I do not have the words to describe how much I love this performance. This is my all time favorite! Uchida is such a wonderful pianist.
I feel the same way Michael. It is spectacular... I wish I could find this performance on CD.
I share with you that thought
The ending alone makes this my favorite piano concerto.
I loved Uchida so much when I was little. I still remember when my parents took me to Uchida concert. I was so happy to hear her play. After that concert I really enjoyed it and I even tried to be like her 😂
Yes she is incredible to listen to. I have listened to classical music off and on over my life because my brother loves it. He would leave me with albums when he got tired of them. Mozart is my favorite along with Bach and Hayden, I think. But that is probably because we Re on Germanic descent. It says she was born in Japan but naturalized in England. Also, it appears she is the conductor also, which is interesting. God bless.😮
Literally one of the greatest pianists of our time, flawless performance
Mitsuko also plays Liszt exceptionally
theverygoodpiano
Ridiculous! She manages the orchestra when she is not in the piano!!!!! But !! When she plays who manages the orchestra ? Stupid posture!!
How do you think Mozart did it you genius?
michel alain f
Perfect, a perfect Romance, If alive Mozart would have said :"It's my Music"
I love how she feels the music and it shows on her face and the way of conducting the orchestra... not to mention the virtuosity of her piano playing
Удивительное исполнение, очень проникновенное.Наслаждалась, слушая .Моцарт необыкновенный композитор, исполнителям БРАВО!
Flawless! She lets the music flow through her to us. All of these musicians were each enjoying the music as much as all of us listening and watching this incredible performance! She’s so beautiful in and out!
I just have 2 comments:
1. That was just AMAZING.
2. She opened her eyes only once 32:08
Totally false the second one
Angel Vera Ok the: *She opened her eyes, that big, only once 32:08
:)
Don’t forget 16:28
wow, to say this is one of the most phenomenal performances of one of the most miraculous concertos of all time--- is an understatement.
The number one most phenomenal piano concerto composed of all time----played by the most phenomenal modern interpretation yet!!!! Hello baby, give it up, turn it loose!!!
mozart brought the music from the heaven to the earth through uchida
Mitsuko Uchida, Thank you so much for a most wonderful rendition of this concerto with the lovely and skilled young orchestra. I'm sure Mozart was with you all in spirit and enjoying himself hugely. He would have loved the new instruments I believe. I'm glad to have heard this. It was bubbly, dramatic, funny and extremely beautifully put together. Thank you all. A great recording. Cathy Jones, Adelaide SA
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.
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.
In these awful times, to have WAM and Dame Mitsuko...we are all thankful.
WOW, Her virtuosity is a privilege for the ear. It's amazing how updated this performance feels on the eve of the Grammy award, as I felt empty, it satisfied my hunger. Her passionate expressions bring out the clarity in this gigantic yet playful concerto - only another is set in a minor key. It's moving yet powerful, lucid yet lyrical. I didn't think Mozart should be played with so much emotional gestures, but I was so blissfully delighted with this performance - I have heard all of the recording out there. How can it be? She's a genius! Love love love.
I listen and listen and listen AGAIN, AND AGAIN, .... I always enjoy this concerto. Mitsuki Uchida I LOVE YOU!.
Marry her then.

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
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.
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! 🥰🤭🤗
