But a reviewer can only tell you what he heard, and what I heard in this concerto was a solo interpretation on nowhere near the same level of inspiration and skill as was shown by Salonen and his orchestra.

Customer Reviews Mitsuko Uchida , a thoughtful and iconoclastic pianist, was born in Tokyo, on December 20, 1948. She began her studies in piano during childhood. Her parents, who were diplomats, moved to Austria when Uchida was twelve, and she enrolled at the Vienna Academy of Music. Even at this young age, Uchida rebelled against the conventional wisdom her teachers tried to impart. She wished to exercise her own judgment in performance, and the Academy did not want to let her. Judges at competitions, on the other hand, liked her judgment, giving her the second prize at the Beethoven Competition in 1968 and another second prize at the prestigous Chopin Competition in 1970. Uchida , however, was dissatisfied with her playing and retired from the competition circuit. Her career built up mostly through word of mouth during the 1970s. During the 1980s

Extractions: Shirley Fleming Uchida is one of the most insightful pianists on the scene today, but until relatively recently she rarely popped up on the local performance calendar. She was originally scheduled to play a Mozart piano concerto with conductor Charles Mackerras on a programme that also included a suite from Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen and Dvorak's Symphony No 7. When Mackerras cancelled due to ill health, she agreed to conduct the CSO from the piano in two Mozart concertos, the A major Concerto K414 and the F major Concerto K459. The programme also included a Mozart chamber piece, the well-known C Minor Serenade for Winds K388, featuring eight CSO wind players. Mozart is one of Uchida's specialities, and, in a multiyear project with the Cleveland Orchestra, she is conducting all of the composer's piano concertos from the keyboard. Daniel Barenboim, CSO music director and also a stellar pianist, regularly conducts Mozart from the keyboard at Symphony Center, and it was intriguing Thursday night to consider both pianists' approaches. Neither apologises for the kind of plushy sound that a hefty, modern piano with its lid removed and a modern orchestra, even reduced to Thursday night's force of 30-some players, brings to Mozart. In both the amiable K414 and the more robust K459, Uchida and her small CSO contingent played with full-bodied, flowing lyricism as well as limpid clarity.

An important figure on the international classical music scene since the early 1980s, the Japan-born pianist visited Chicago only sporadically in the 1990s, mainly, she said, because of scheduling difficulties. Since 2001, however, Chicago has become a regular stop for Uchida, either for solo piano recitals or appearances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. On Sunday afternoon a large crowd crawled out from under the snow and made its way to Symphony Center to hear Uchida's solo recital of music by Pierre Boulez, Schubert and Beethoven. They were rewarded with a blend of unfamiliar and familiar works, an ideal combination of stimulation and comfort for a winter afternoon.

Mitsuko Uchida At Carnegie Hall By Samuel Lipman Japanese pianist mitsuko uchida gave at Carnegie Hall in the middle of December.Miss uchida, born in 1948, studied from the age of twelve in Vienna, http://www.newcriterion.com/archive/11/feb93/uchida.htm
Extractions: by Samuel Lipman O ne hears a great deal these days about the decline of the solo recital. To judge by newspaper coverage alone, not just in The New York Times but in other American newspapers, and not just by the American press but by the English as well, recitals come a distant third behind orchestra concerts and, especially, behind opera. Why this should be so is in at least two senses not clear: the monumental solo literature written for the piano and for the violin, and the Lieder and chanson literature written for the voice, lie at the heart of the repertory of the greatest music in the Western tradition. Furthermore, solo recitals, involving as they do just one artist, or an artist and an accompanist, are vastly cheaper to put onstage than large orchestras and opera companies. But in the case of the recital, clearly more is involved than art and money; in the postmodern entertainment world, even in the area of what once was enthusiastically hailed as high culture, hordes of performers and glittering spectacles are what the public seems to want.

Extractions: by Jay Nordlinger O Impoverished as we are in pianists, there are some interesting and creditable ones on the scene. At Carnegie Hall recently, three of them appeared within two weeks: Mitsuko Uchida, a Japanese pianist, long resident in Europe, who is known particularly for her Mozart; Emanuel Ax, an American, born in Poland, who is admired for his Chopin and chamber playing; and Evgeny Kissin, a former child prodigy, now twenty-nine, from Russia, who is the object of rapture and delirium everywhere. Mitsuko Uchida, decidedly, is not of this tradition; she is a clean, careful, and modest pianist. Uchida offered an unusual program in New York, or rather, she presented it in an unusual order: a Chopin sonata, Webern, Mozart, and, to conclude, a late Schubert sonata. Her Chopin was the B Uchida, however, has a severely limited technique, meaning that she can barely handle much of the mainstream repertory. The Chopin sonata was all but beyond her. She is exceptionally tight in the arms, which restricts her movement and deprives her of fluidity. She appears to sit too close to the keyboard, and her shoulders are hunched. Her entire piano-playing apparatus seems cramped. To be sure, she usually manages to get through difficult passages, but not without awkwardness and strain. H er main problem in the first movement of the Chopin lay in the octaves: she could not coax a singing line out of them. It is easier, of course, to produce such a line with single notes, but Chopin demands that it be done with octaves as well. Uchida did not play those octaves

Extractions: Full Review Mitsuko Uchida is rightly considered one of the premiere Mozart interpreters. In her recordings of Mozart's Piano Concertos (with Jeffrey Tate and the English Chamber Orchestra on Philips) she delighted audiences (including critics) like no Pianist in Mozart since... perhaps since Clara Haskil. In the Mozart Piano Sonatas, too, Uchida is at her best. The woman knows how to pack a punch without becoming gratuitously forceful... (none of the wham-bamm Martha Argerich style - which, true enough, would be inappropriate in Mozart). She is soft without being timid. She can linger without muddling.

Extractions: Mitsuko Uchida @ Bridgewater Hall HOME REVIEWS Review by James Ellaby Mitsuko Uchida is widely-regarded as one of the greatest pianists of the modern era, and she proved that conclusively last night at the Bridgewater Hall. Her interpretations of works by Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert have earned her worldwide acclaim, and it was the latter two who were represented in this performance of contrasting styles and emotions. In front of a respectful crowd, Uchida's piano sits majestically alone on the stage, and her entrance was suitably low-key, simply getting straight down to the music, which was Schubert's Piano Sonata in C major D80, "Relique". Written in 1828 but never finished - like so many of his sonatas - Schubert's project was not published in its full form until 1862. While not one of his more famous works, "Relique" is still a complex and moving piece of music when in the right hands, and those hands belong to Uchida. She is at her best when interpreting gentle tones, barely touching the keys of her piano yet filling the hall with the sound. The two movements were impeccably performed and well-received by the audience, with Uchida taking two bows before the interval. However, the Schubert was only really an introduction to the main event, which was his Viennese contemporary Beethoven's Sonata in B flat major Op 106, the "Hammerklavier". Beethoven described it as his "greatest" sonata, and it is certainly one of his most challenging to perform, not the kind of sonata usually associated with Uchida.
