Mitsuko Uchida is one of the greatest pianists of Mozart. I put the complete Mozart's sonatas by her and I going to put the complete Beethoven's sonatas by Daniel Barenboim (!!)
-
Uchida is masterful. She absolutely understands Mozart, and many more composers as well. Brendel is very mechanical - I don't see what people hear in his playing.

-
Brendel?

@PianistThatPractice My apologies to OriginalBasaliskos, I was too harsh. Comment removed, back to constructive talk...:-)
-
could someone write the names of the pieces played?
-
@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.

@KhagarBalugrak with you on that one, here in the UK we have a commerical classical radio station that obviously is paid to play/promote certain artists. We get Brendel all the time and hardly ever hear Uchida playing, though they just brought out a CD to support the Japanese Tsunami fund so we get to hear her more, pity that is has to wait until a tragedy like that to wonder at her playing. You would think we would hear more as she is a Dame of the british empire, money talks I guess.
-
@KhagarBalugrak have you heard his interpretation of the Beethoven Pathetique! You couldn't possibly call that mechanical. I know this was 11 months ago so sorry about that, but I had to say something, Brendel's sensitivity and touch is amazing.
-
I mean no disrespect but Brendel sucks. "Legend"? Come on guys, he plays with an expressiveness of a piano roll and with grace of a MIDI player...
-
Uchida and Brendel are probably my two favorite living pianists.

Don't worry! Rachmaninov himself, will have a whole video to himself at Part 8. Part 8 is starting the section of the series where 4 videos are of famous composers playing their own compositions, and those of others. These four videos will feature composers like Rachmaninov, Grieg, Prokofiev (etc)performing.
