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.

A performance like this raises up the human race above the trivial and trite of the daily existence. Bravo
-
Mozart is magic, and Mitsuko Uchida is a magician.
-
When Mozart's father read orchestration in the third movement, he cried.

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!

why is there dislikes? this performance is incredible
-
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 ❤

This performance, the pianist, and all musicians are over the sky. Word cannot appraise it. A magnificent, wonderful concert.
-
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.
-
She does not only play and conduct. She is the music
-
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!
-
I've been listening to this while I work, and when the video ends, I play it again. I love this. It's beautiful!
-
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.

"play Mozart like it was Chopin and Chopin like it was Mozart" - Horowitz
-
The fact that she was also conducting the orchestra destroys my self-esteem even more.
-
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.

I once heard this was Beethoven's favourite Mozart concento :)
-
She feels the music.
-
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....

Easily one of the finest interpretations of K.466.
