Mitsuko Uchida conducts and performs. Below is a review, reprinted in the DVD insert for this performance.

Two and a half centuries after Mozart's birth, Mitsuko Uchida comes as close as any pianist, of the present or the past, to giving his music a quality of contemporaneity, without recourse to exaggeration of any kind, without a hint of "historicity." There is no pedantry in her playing, no self-conscious didacticism, no straight imitation of 18th century practices. She is, however, musicologically highly informed, and characteristically complements this knowledge with practical experience. (cont. on part II)

  • @morfingaunt I totally agree with you man, I think this is Mozart greatest piano concerto, but it is unlike all the other ones and has a more somber tragic tone, which is why its better than all the others
