Tomoharu Ushida's piano always strikes me in the heart and penetrates deep into my soul. His piano playing has a magical way of healing about it, probably because of his sincerity and utter devotion to his craft. His performance of Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 4 is an expression of poetic beauty. His rendition of Chopin's Fantasie is a supreme interpretation of this piece, bringing sheer joy to anyone who has the privilege of listening to his music. I am so glad to be able to see and listen to his entire performance. I just wish him the best performance in the Leeds International Piano Competition 2024!
Not a single phrase was without emotional and intellectual depth. The E flat Mozart is so unique out of his early sonatas. Ushida’s interpretation invites us to the quiet, intimate voices of Mozart. And the explosive drive of the Fantasy, after the march section building up! Thank you for a gripping performance.

Ashame that Mozart’s piano sonatas with obligato violin accompaniment are ignored by Pianist today. All because a violin is involved. There’s such a wealth of beautiful music in these sonatas. Relinquishing them to violinist is such a waste. Mozart never intended them as works that highlight the violin. They are first and foremost works for the piano with violin. They are much in line with the so called piano trios which Mozart referred to as sonatas for piano violin and violoncello. He never used word trio. These accompanied keyboard sonatas are worth exploring and should be programmed as much as the sonatas for piano alone.

In the Chopin Fantasie, Ushida's masterly powers as a keyboard colorist were most apparent. BRAVO!!

I am so glad to hear his all of the performance of 1st round. I was so impressed by his serafic sound of Mozart and profound understanding of Chopin.

The calculated time is pleasant. Straightforward expression of the composer's emotions I could be blindfolded and you would still know it was his playing 2:35
Even more wonderful maybe the interpretation of Tiankai Yu. Never listened to such a Mozart.... He is flying...

Frankly speaking, I’d prefer to listen his old play style of Chopin when he participated at Chopin competition. It was very deeply thoughtful. But this time of his Chopin changed a lot.
Too bad his otherwise fine performance is marred by his floating hand movements and facial grimaces. Neither of those mannerisms add any value to the performances.

J'ecoute sa interprétation mes yeux fermés. En bloquant toute distraction, j'aiguise ma ouïe et peux miex entendre les voix de Mozart et de Chopin. Son seul souhait est de partager leur voix avec nous.

Never mind, judging music by visual cues is something only third-rate people do.

Music is aural, not visual. Perhaps you would prefer a robotic presence at the piano.
