Mozart: Concerto for piano and Orchestra (d-minor) K.466, Uchida

[@KopolJunam]

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.

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 !!❤😻🥰❤️

There are many performances of this piece where the pianist conducts the orchestra, but this is by far the best of them in my opinion.

[@chriswatson7965]

It was the style for the pianist to also conduct the orchestra, especially in small ensembles like this one.

This and a few other pieces by Mozart are the only things that keep me considering him as one of the greatest.

[@YugooperaBook]

I like your comment. as that I was talking

[@Johnadams20760]

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

[@abelpalmer552]

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

Можно сказать магнетический пианизм - во всём исполнении такая Любовь к Моцарту, такая солнечность и прозрачность звучания, что даже минор снимает шляпу перед Сиянием Моцарта.

Absolutely divine. As she stood in front of the piano and orchestra, I thought, my god, she has all that music in her head and her hands. Amazing. Stunning performance by this perfect orchestra, too.

[@bettinabeckroge2808]

Wow! Genial!!! Zwischen Sanftmut, Träumen, Fantasia und Aufbegehren. Noch nie habe ich Mozart so vernommen. Tausend Dank!!! ❤ 👌👏👏👏

[@Monomomomono]

I think this is one of the best-interpreted performance of the piece. the musical flow is very elegant yet grandiose.

[@EBugraBalci]

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!

"play Mozart like it was Chopin and Chopin like it was Mozart" - Horowitz

Pablo Casals said that TO Vladimir Horowitz...LOL....

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.

[@SpaghettiToaster]

How do you think Mozart did it you genius?

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.

МИЦУКО УШИДА-- блестящая пианистка. Глубокое, полнокровное прочтение произведения. Браво!!!

[@TheTmackey]

Yes, I saw her many times in Chicago and treasure each performance. Once I met her at a signing and for a moment we spoke as friends. No one quite like her.

[@brila7985]

I should thank the conductor of the orchestra for sharing the joy of this beautiful performance with audiences.

Это исполнение… пианист и оркестр - это не просто музыка, это живая стихия - Мощная! Волшебная! Прекрасная! Захватывает и не отпускает! Великолепно! Спасибо!

[@tomtuduc8227]

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.

[@Picard47Lock]

I just returned from Marlboro VT where Ms. Uchida, who is basically the heart and soul of the music school, put on an exceptionally emotional and superb performance of Beethoven's Choral Fantasy. I was in the 2nd row and it was stunning to watch her play this afternoon. What a treasure!

[@intothedragon]

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....

[@EdsProlixe]

It's also my favourite Mozart piano concerto. Daniel Baranboim's my usual go to, but this just hits it out of the park.

[@jaylinn416]

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.

[@TheJcfclark]

@@jaylinn416 Like any true artist, she's in 'the zone'.

[@patriciabravoriscal6264]

I feel exactly the same 😉

[@patriciabravoriscal6264]

To me, the best Mozart's piano concert. After this one, not much known but very beautiful, the 9th Concert

[@alanmorrison9732]

It just doesn't get any better than this. Spellbinding. That is all I can say.

[@jamesbarrett9066]

Magical, genius, heavenly and goosebumps through it all.

[@John-se5vc]

Uchida is a treasure. I have spent the morning watching/listening to Mozart concerti played by some of the biggest names on stage. I heard fingers missing spirit. I heard spirit with spongy fingers. I heard over-calculation. Now I am listen to this, this volcano both play and conduct, and crying my eyes out. An Uchida Mozart performance should be a bucket-list item for people--even if they have to travel to hear it. A bonus is cadenzas by Beethoven, who captured the spirt of this great work.

[@guyperin1238]

C’est un régal de regarder et écouter Uchida , la perfection ! Elle vit et fait corps avec la musique qu’elle interprète, merci aussi à ce génie qu’est Mozart !

[@FreshLlamanade]

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.

[@spinhalflight8939]

I feel the same way Michael. It is spectacular... I wish I could find this performance on CD.

[@YugooperaBook]

I share with you that thought

[@ВалентинаСидельникова-в2м]

Удивительное исполнение, очень проникновенное.Наслаждалась, слушая .Моцарт необыкновенный композитор, исполнителям БРАВО!

[@living_iswrong4]

Never seen playing and conducting at the same time, such intense emotions when I see how much she loves Mozart's music and expresses it, a real genius! Now I saw something absolutely new and unfamiliar to me, and I really love it now.

[@misom814]

Professional and with feeling. The whole orchestra plays as one. And the way Mozart has put the piano along with the rest of the instruments is just the way I like it. The piano is a part of the symphony as a whole, not a soloinstrument as in many other symphonies I've heard. All the different instruments works in harmony and as one big force of music. It's glorious. If I could write symphonies, I would do it exactly like that.
