Why are you having a go at thethikboy, you should be directing your comments at the other person. He wasn't angry or abusive the other person was clearly acting like a petty moron (ie small minded and childlike manner). Perhaps I should book my counselling with you right now "trulynot", of cour...

Thanks for the upload, Mitsuko Uchida is always a joy to listen to, I really, really should make the effort to see her perform live, that must be on another level if that's possible.

@macbeth870 wrong, interpretation is part and parcel of music. The modern piano did not even exist when Mozart wrote this, so should it not be played on a pianoforte only? If someone wants to play it in a different manner to the original composition, that is entirely their choice, you don't h...

@calebmwebb IS the greatest pianist of our time!

@kads8679 Wouldn't you pay to hear something so divine??

Mozart Piano concertos as a body of work are unsurpassed to this day, the later stuff is a constant delight, continually brilliant and in the right hands truly moving.

@ThePVGS1 Don't take things personally, people are entitled to their opinion, the world would be a boring place if we all thought and acted the same way. I lke Barenboim by the way but I love Uchida, she connects like no other pianist out there.

@MrRC1992 Ain't it obvious, he's not lip syncing and playing out of tune. Once in a lifetime concert!

@barnbersonol well it works, terry!

@andrewcumm Suggest that the pain she was going through and what ultimately killed her is what made her special and you could not have had one without the other. I for one am thankful for the time she was here.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, I was blown away by this performance 20 years ago when I saw it on TV. My favourtite live rendition, my first introduction to Barbara Bonney, I think I was smitten, what a voice and a good looking women to boot, heavenly.

Beautiful, love that lullaby and never seen it put to better use. Life is all about living in the moment and that was a moment to savour.

Doubly artistic, a great piece of orchestration and conceptual art at the same time, wouldn't be out of place in the Tate Modern.

@ajdobmeister7

Perhaps without the experiences Karen had that caused her death, we would not have got the amazing voice she had. We are the sum of all our experiences

I've played with plenty of those 1,2,3 old boys, 1 howzat, not out, 2 howzat, not out, 3 howwwwzattt!!!! out!!!! whether it was or not.

Pure class, the slower ball is most under rated and not seen enough for my liking. Got many a decent player out bowled or skying the ball with it. Should be in the arsenal of any fast bowler

Personally I wouldn't like to see Ponting banned, it will likely be the end of his career if so, that would be a sad way to go. A large fine should do (he has a massive contract anyway) and it would be nice for him to show a bit more respect to umpires and opposition players when they score 50's...

The road was closed Saturday 3pm and clearly so, it's simply people not wishing to queue down St Georges Road (which was just as slippy but not as steep), then Gloucester Road and in the bottom entrance. As always in life we have choices and there are consequences to thoe choices, theres could e...
