Moonlight Sonata performed live at the Royal Albert Hall (BBC Proms 2020)

[@phil4977]

I’ve heard this piece played by many pianists however this lady is by far the best. The detail in her playing is exceptional.

[@sydneywild2800]

Mitsuko Uchida’s eloquent performance simply gave timbre of such beauty

[@jesuschristislord2111]

Peace!Iesu sa ma ga anata o aishite i masu konichiwa amen.God Bless😇🙏 P.s. Beethoven was a Freemasonist and not on your own strength but the strength of God in Jesus Christ mighty name please amen.Maranatha!

[@plan3-238]

I am going to play this song with the orchestra at the final round , Thank you Mitsuko Uchida ! You inspired me!

[@robinanim]

Thank you Mitsuko Uchida, that's the best. There are so many performances of this movement, but the sensitivity, the touch, and the feel of this performance encapsulates the emotion that this piece deserves. That it was performed at the Royal Albert Hall makes it so so special.

[@joelok48]

I agree. The best I've ever heard. And I'm 73 years old ....

[@bosandre8580]

She is Mitsuko Uchida?

[@cmonclair27]

Her version and the late Radu Lupu's are my favorites. Her version of Mozart's k.545 second movement is also exceptional.

[@hopesonmakokha5217]

The playing is very delicate and tender. Such a tragic piece of music.

[@tishhill9561]

How utterly exquisite this is, she is. Years is thought. Wisdom. Pain. Respect. Depth. Musicality. Thank you , dear lady.

[@tishhill9561]

Years OF thought.

[@tishhill9561]

Exquisite phrasing, of course. Not a whiff of a cliché. How dearly the earth has been to have as intellectually and emotionally gifted a musician and as mischievous a human as you on it.

[@mariciagonzales7493]

Still gives me goosebumps. My auntie would play this and I would melt everytime.

[@nztv8589]

me too!

[@stevewilliams6465]

This is still my favourite version and pianist . Truly wonderful

[@amnbvcxz8650]

Women have a completely different touch at the piano. I think the first movement sounds best when played with a soft melancholic and tender touch. This is a great interpretation that doesn’t sound robotic (like many others).

[@TheGuzhengthailand]

I do agree with your comment!❤❤

[@Mohammed-pn3km]

Best performance of 1st movement on KZbin

[@stevewilliams6465]

This has to be the greatest and most beautiful performance of this classic. I never become tired of listening to it. Thank you Mitsuko .

Mitsuko Uchida and the eloquence of simply...so moving! thank you for uploading

...simplicity..of course

[@MrBaldylocks13]

Enjoyed her pacing, the slower tempo pays tribute to the tragic and darker tones of the piece IMHO

[@e-t-y237]

I love the understated playing style. The music, the music, the music... !

I meditate with this music

[@stevewilliams6465]

Such feeling, tenderness and emotion conveyed through hands of experience - excellent and moving.

[@snigdhaprakash6485]

Please upload the 2nd and 3rd movements too, this is blissfully brilliant 🥰

Breathtaking in its beauty.

[@darrenedwards1833]

What an incredible performance of an soul stirring melody. Goosebumps!

[@paulkeable7485]

Beautiful song that has magical relaxing sleeping powers. No matter how stressful the kids are and no matter the Chaos around you. This song puts you in your own world that is clam and gentle.

[@6680thSOG]

Well said.

To my surprise, I can hear the sound wave on headphone that's almost perfectly tuned, that what I love about Steinway piano, it just singing itself.

Listening to this...quietly pondering if there is hope for the world. It makes you actually think there must be good in people somewhere. This music can tame anger and make you think...is it possible?

[@take5minutesofpeaceandcalm41]

Awesome, beautiful, and timeless. I agree with all the comments so truly emotive and deep. I love Beethoven's Moonlight Piano Sonata no.14 in C# minor Op.27. No.2. Especially that it was named 'Moonlight Sonata' by the German music critic and poet Ludwig Rellstab in 1832, 5 years after Beethoven passed away which was then subjected to severe criticism over the next 10 years before being fully accepted as Beethovens 'Moonlight Sonata'. Quite honestly I found the moonlight descriptive to be the perfect context and can see both the sad and/or peaceful meditativeness depending on personal disposition. I experience and love both of these emotions for this piece. I also think it could be a love song of pain for his student the Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, to which Beethoven dedicated the piece, as there is the feedback that he was taken in by her beauty but it is possible that 'she was not available' at that time. Here is my visual interpretation of Beethoven's Moonlight Piano Sonata no.14 in C# minor Op.27. No.2. I only wish I could have been at this live performance with Pianist Mitsuko Uchida in 2020. @sGmI

[@matthias.1967]

Man kann die Sonate ja hier auf YT in verschiedenen Tempi hören, dieses sagt mir sehr zu, es ist weder zu langsam noch zu schnell.

Hearing Joe Hisaishi and Uchida performed on Steinway, the music is incredible powerful and it took us billion of years to hear them play.

Beautiful . . . but where's the rest of the sonata?

[@davegill7614]

This is the first movement

[@donna30044]

@@davegill7614 Like I said . . . . There are a lot of people who know only this movement and think it's the entire piece. My problem is with the piece being labeled "Moonlight Sonata" with no reference to the fact that it is only one part of the sonata.

[@kovvvas]

Weird ritardandos (almost stops) before hitting some of the main melody's notes. Not particularly expressive imo.

[@LysanderLH]

Too fast! So many people play this too fast! It's supposed to be Moonlight and clouds gently passing by in the night sky, with just the sound of a church bell marking 11pm (listen to the bass from around 2:18 and from about 5:00) and by the time it ends, Midnight, hence the 11 bass bongs and other bell discordant 'bongs'. Beeee the Moonlight!

[@davegill7614]

Only beethoven could tell us that...I agree thou

[@onemanfran]

But it wasn't named moonlight by Beethoven. That was not his intention with this piece.

[@LysanderLH]

@@onemanfran indeed. How fast is too fast though?
