Mitsuko Uchida is really feeling the spirit, breathing Mozart - he would be so proud on her - great and marvelous work! Mozart wrote it for Maria Theresia von Paradis - (another forgotten Wunderkind in the times of Mozart, she wrote and played blind), currently related in the Austrian movie: "Light" in German: "Licht" Mozart came to Vienna because it was 250 years ago one of the most liberal cities in the world: nearly no press censorship, also former enemies such as Turks who laid siege to Vienna were highly praised musically by Mozart and emperor Joseph II: e.g. "Entführung aus dem Serail" plays in Turkey and "Rondo alla Turca" knows every Turk, still even today. Mitsuko Uchida lived in her youth in Vienna to study music and Piano and this in unbelievable perfection.. Seems Vienna is a special city and magnet for this kind of music hence I'm proud to live in this remarkable city!
I have loved Uchida's Mozart since I heard her play the 8th piano sonata in D major. She understands the playfulness and is never boring or mechanical.
Thank you to bring me to this special part: You are perfectly right: This sounds like music from a new world far, far away - really wonderful, infinitity sublime, marvelous and perfect... and this is only a small part of only this work - his 456(!) work, he wrote it in the age of 25..... - unbelievable - genius - Mozart...!
Mozart the most beautiful, Bach the most profound, Beethoven the most astonishing…who can imagine life without them? And Ushida…she gets the pace and touch of Mozart so right.
20:22 to the end of 2nd movement transports us into a different realm. The harmonies are otherworldly. Mozart most have been in a trance visiting a different dimension when he penned this part.
Beautiful! I read that Mozart composed this piano concerto specifically for Maria Theresia Paradis, a blind pianist who was treated for a time by Franz Anton Mesmer. Ms. Paradis played this concerto before Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in Paris in 1784. (info from the book Hypnotism A History by Derek Forrest)
I heard this concerto played in a piano competition and thought the composition was poor then I decided to hear this Uchida recording and, right away, I noted a big difference in quality of not only the pianist but also of the orchestra. Uchida played very charmingly.
Just listened to this on the period instruments. I am persuaded that something can be better than it was originally conceived to be, ala the beautiful later model concert grand pianos. And larger orchestras, oh well, how can you complain about what is divine? I only hope that Wolferl can hear these sometimes where he is and feel our appreciation for his work. Thanks
What bothers me sometimes is the increase in orchestra size and the slowness of the tempos. Particularly #20, where everybody seems to ignore the fact that the first movement is denoted "allegro".
Herbert B. Locksley, M.D. I am a great admirer of Perahia, Kissim and others of the modern pianists, but I believe the greatest depth of understanding of Mozart belongs to Mitsuko Uchida
Discrepo infinitamente contigo Jacinto. Te recomiendo leer la biografía de Mozart, que aonda en su persona, vida y obra: La de Alfred Einstein (mismo apellido que el gran fisico, si) o la de hildesheimer que es estupenda. Si te gusta Mozart, hazle justicia y lee un poco sobre el. Lo digo con todo aprecio y critica constructiva.
@@StanObirek Allegro vivace indicates that it should be fairly fast (lively Allegro) but I agree that the pace is right. Gabriel's comment is subjective and open to question.
Se nota por la música que el compositor tenía altibajos anímicos. El segundo movimiento se nota que está con ánimo depresivo. Pero su música es muy equilibrada y espiritual según mi punto de vista. Llama la atención que el personaje real fuera bastante inmaduro y poco realista en otras facetas de su vida. No era consciente del todo de dónde le salía su inspiración.
No creo que Mozart estuviera muy deprimido. Creo que estaba desilusionado con la inteligencia mediocre de muchos de sus superiores sociales, y muy decepcionado por el hecho de que tanta gente no reconociera su genio incandescente.
I want to live in the place Mozart music lives . His stream of beauty is endless . I love so many composers but never get bored with Mozart even when some of his works get played to death.
Mozart's piano concerti present a truly unique experience that is very hard to capture, let alone describe.
What a beautiful 2nd theme :)
Mozart and Uchida: teaming up to produce pure magic!
This piece makes my life better.
Jakub Vaněček Agreed I really like 11. 12 of course No 20 is my fav especially the into to the 3rd mvt. 26. Clarinet concerto 624
Bach, Mozart and Beethoven enrich my life.

No, Mozart wrote this concerto for Mitsuko Uchida.
This song makes me happier believing that is a place better than this one. Thank you, dear Mozart.
Which song? There is no song here; this is a piano concerto.
The tutti beginning at 23:02 is just glorious!
One if my very favorite Mozart piano concertos ever composed!!
This concerto really is a celebration of the joy of music, so playful and energetic. Music for music’s sake. Wonderful
The fugal passage from 17:53 to 18:26 is just incredible
@@seoulstn I listen to this when I drive past the peasants in the Rolls Royce Phantom.
@@bitcoincryptofreedom3652Compelling! We also listen to this in developing countries. Fruitcake... 😒
@@agustinpastorino5988 lovely darling.
Sehr "klassische" Interpretation, durchsichtig, kammermusikalisch, die Solistin mit silbrigem Anschlag, ich liebe diese Darbietung sehr.

Che bella questa musica, la seconda parte del concerto per pianoforte è semplicemente divina
20:22 only the greatest of all can create such feelings. Heavenly.
Thank you Mozart

Yes. It's extraordinary.
Maybe Mozart its not the greatest (Beethoven and Bach are above) but I agree its a celestial and unspeakably beautiful musical moment.
Mozart the most beautiful, Bach the most profound, Beethoven the most astonishing…who can imagine life without them?
And Ushida…she gets the pace and touch of Mozart so right.
Extraordinary andante!

Pure bliss.
The second movement definitively rocks

Jorge Aguirre cual de las dos es mejor o cuales son las diferencias ?gracias ,
@@adriatorras8077 Heldesheimer! Más vale tarde que nunca
Not much left for Beethoven.
Epic commentary! Although Beethoven was a genius too, Mozart is incomparable.
Hay tuyệt
But isn't the Andante reminiscent of Barbarina's aria in Le Nozze di Figaro? (L'ho perduta, me meschina)
I listen to this when I drive past the peasants queuing at the food banks whilst in the RR Phantom.
This comment does not do anything but yeah.
yeah...
yeah...
Third movement is too slow.
Gabriel Shapiro It is marked 'Allegro vivace' and I think the pace is right. You should take enough time to enjoy every phrase of it.
