Uchida conducts Mozart's Piano Concerto #20 - Rondo III

Mitsuko Uchida conducts and performs.
(continued from part II)
As a conductor, Uchida is unconventional and independent-minded. While scrupulously observant of Mozart's markings, she is fully aware that the notation and rhythmic indications in the score are only a starting point. The two ideals of performing most emphasized by Mozart were "taste" and "feeling." Uchida keeps them in perfect proportion.

Her bow is almost as brilliant as her performance.

[mikejr41387]

phenomenal performance, thanks for posting

[SuperTendril]

Does she improvise the cadenzas on the spot?

[dhlvvv]

When is see with how much passion she plays the arpeggio scale after the cadenza about in minute 7:09, I just feel immensely euphoric. It is very nice to see that people still have such passion for classical music

[AceSeno]

See how the audiences' faces lit brightly and applause with great satisfaction after Mitsuko and the orchestra comes to an end? Magnificent phenomenal performance!

I most say this,,, SHE'S WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, MOZART'S REINCARNATION. :'D

[MasterpezeProduction]

Dam, she's sooo pro >.<

[spamodell]

Her piano performance is one of the most outstanding things I've ever seen. She is definitely a piano player and less a conductor. They stayed together well, but, and I feel I may get backlash from this, but she had some pretty lousy conducting technique. The performers didn't watch her much, still, they stayed together, that's good. But really, I'm not just gonna pick things apart, this was an exemplary performance! Excellent technique, phrasing, and intonation throughout.

What's the name of the concertmaster? She looks Asian too.

[Beetocheng]

and 3:30 is the most awesomest part of the video. Uchida. <3

[Beetocheng]

maybe Mozart also conducts like her , except maybe with a colourful wig

I didn't know the girl from The Ring played the piano. She must have practiced many years down in that water well.
