21. Music @ Orpheo's Featured Artists mitsuko. uchida The Schubert Recordings. Japanese pianist mitsuko uchida has beenan admired exponent of core repertoire be it Mozart, Beethoven or Schumann. http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/5901/artists.html

Leif Ove Andsnes I / II The young Norwegian pianist has since his international recording debut in 1990 released numerous highly acclaimed discs, varying from Janacek, Nielsen and Grieg through Chopin and Schumann to Haydn. A particular fidelity towards the music and impeccable taste has won him numerous prizes, including a recent Gramophone award. He is one of his generation's most admired pianists. Anne-Sophie Mutter Since her rise to fame after the Salzburg Festspiele of 1977, Anne-Sophie Mutter has been among the worlds finest violinists. Her repertoire is wide, ranging from Vivaldi and Bach, through Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Brahms to Bartok, Berg and Stravinsky. I personally have a particular affinity with her 20th. century repertoire, which proves her status as one of the leading performers of music from our own near past. Martha Argerich I / II Martha Argerich is the greatest living pianist. Her contribution to the world of music, from her international recording debut in 1961 is beyond praise. She has played and recorded extensively, everything from Bach to Messiaen. She is still recording, having recently given us the Chopin concertos, live Mozart and Beethoven concertos, and a scintillating recital ranging from Bach to Ginastera and Prokofiev. Martha Argerich is not only still going strong, she is greater than ever, continuing to shower us with spinechilling pianism.

23. INKPOT#65 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: BEETHOVEN Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2. Uchida/ mitsuko uchida, having already recorded the entire Mozart Piano Concerto repertoirewith by Emil Gilels, the eminent and legendary Russian pianist wellknown http://inkpot.com/classical/beethpfc12u.html

Ludwig van BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No.1 in C major, op.15 Piano Concerto No.2 in B-flat major, op.19 MITSUKO UCHIDA piano Symphonieorchester des Bayersichen Rundfunks · conducted by Kurt Sanderling Philips Classics [69'34"] full-price by Johann D'Souza It is a known fact that Beethoven's Second Piano Concerto was actually his first and that his First was his second. The reason being that he had made no less than four major changes to the former, delaying its trip to the publishers. As a result of this it was assigned as No.2. These concertos were very dear to Beethoven and about five years lapsed before they were actually published. While Beethoven did perform them in public, these majestic works could not be played by any other than himself. When he did send his second piano concerto to the printers, he confessed: "I do not pass it off as one of my best because I am keeping the better ones for myself until I myself make a journey, yet you need not be ashamed to print it". The first two piano concertos are so characteristically Mozartian that an amateur could easily believe them to be a couple of Mozart's late piano concertos. The opening bars of Beethoven's First Concerto sounds like Mozart's last C major Concerto K.503 (No.25, 1786); however it is not long before Beethoven's harmonic expansions bring to it its own distinct features. Beethoven was already striking it out as a prolific pianist - mind you, by the time of his death he had composed 32 Sonatas for the piano, 12 Sonatas for violin and piano, all topped off with the five piano concertos.

Return to the WCPE Homepage Perspectives on Uchida by Barry Deitz, Quail Ridge Books and Music and WCPE Volunteer Variety, as the saying goes, is the spice of life. And I can think of no two words that more perfectly describe the artistry of Mitsudo Uchida than 'spice' and 'variety.' There is plenty of both in the new 2-CD collection PERSPECTIVES. During the course of this 2 1/2 hour musical journey across her recording career, we encounter the piano music of Mozart, Debussy, Schumann, Schubert and Schoenberg, and my friends, there's not a more disparate aggregate imaginable. Composing for the piano was central to the work of each of those composers, yet their ideas of what constituted good music couldn't be more diverse. The crisp, structure sonatas of Mozart soudn a world away from the sprawling journeys of Robert Schumann's music, which of course sounds nothing like the ethereal piano creations of Debussy. Therefore it takes a truly extraordinary pianist to bring much vastly diverse musical worlds alive for the listener. The passion and precision of Mitsuko Uchida goes straight to the core of these composers, giving performances of conviction and power. As an interpreter she can be playful, seductive, haunting and dazzlingly virtuosic, but her playing is always fueled with the desire to make the music come to life. Born in Tokyo, Uchida has had a somewhat unorthodox career. Fiercely independent, she entered the Vienna Academy of Music as a young teenager and immediately rattled the chains of that August institution, insisting on her own program of study. After finishing well in the Beethoven and Chopin Piano Competitions, she quit the circuit and spent several years in private study before emerging as a master artist with her first recordings of Mozart.

Mitsuko Uchida piano Biography Mitsuko Uchida's interpretations of a wide range of repertoire have gained her a formidable reputation as a pianist who brings intellectual acuity and musical insight to her performances. She is particularly noted for her interpretations of Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert, but is also a dedicated performer of the music of Berg, Webern, Schoenberg, Debussy and Messiaen. Last season Mitsuko Uchida focused on two of the most important strands in her career: Mozart and Schoenberg. Despite a sabbatical during the first half of 2002, she gave performances of Mozart concertos with Sir Colin Davis and the Dresden Staatskapelle, and with Kurt Sanderling in Berlin as a part of his farewell concert. Her Mozart Violin Sonatas project with Mark Steinberg continued with the complete cycle at Wigmore Hall in London, and selected programs in Bath, Antwerp, Dublin, and Paris. Schoenberg featured strongly in a three-week chamber music project in Japan involving artists such as Yo Yo Ma, Mark Steinberg, and Maria Picinini, including performances of Pierrot Lunaire Drei Klavierstucke, Op. 11

Uchida speaks at Peabody Jacques Cohen Peabody Notes Mitsuko Uchida, one of the most revered musicians in the world, took time to hold an informal question and answer session at Peabody this past Saturday. She was in Baltimore for some Mozart performances with the Baltimore Symphony. The small classroom was packed with pianists, eager to hear Ms. Uchida's thoughts on a wide variety of topics. She immediately displayed a down-to-Earth attitude by insisting that the moderator call her Mitsuko. She told fascinating stories covering her childhood through her plans for the future. In explaining the early years, she commented, "My parents wanted me to be an ordinary Japanese housewife. They gave me piano lessons so that I could make them proud... for them, when I grew up, maybe I would play one concert a year." Uchida lived her teenage years in Vienna, where she studied with Richard Hauser at the Vienna Academy of Music. "I was a very bad student, but he is the only piano teacher I had that I think I really learned a great deal from. He was a brilliant man and also very strict. I remember him telling a student: `You have played the same mistake three times. I can allow twice, but I cannot allow three times.' He closed the student's music and told him to find another teacher. "From the beginning he told me, as he did all his students, that at the second lesson, the piece being studied should be memorized or he'd throw me out of the studio. Well, we had an extra week of practicing before my next lesson due to Easter. I worked ten hours a day trying to memorize the fugue from Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" Sonata [which is one of the most complicated and difficult works in the repertoire]. He must have forgot his warning to me, for he was quite impressed that I had memorized it by the next lesson!"

Kun je bij een pianist van amper negentien lentes al gewagen van een volwassen artistieke persoonlijkheid? Je zou geneigd zijn neen te zeggen. Op die leeftijd heeft een musicus meestal nog ettelijke jaren voor de boeg om een eigen stijl te ontwikkelen. Yundi Li schijnt hierop een uitzondering te vormen. Hoewel pas aan het begin van zijn carrière, is hij in staat de boodschap van een partituur te ontcijferen en die aan het publiek door te geven. Zo persoonlijk en overtuigend is zijn manier van spelen. Het eerste hoogtepunt in zijn nog prille carrière was alvast de eerste prijs in het befaamde Chopin-concours in Warschau, in het jaar 2000. Deze eerste cd bevestigt zijn uitzonderlijk talent. Luister maar en u zult terecht uitkijken naar zijn volgende cd met werk van Liszt. Yundi Li - Chopin Deutsche Grammophon - 1 CD 471.479-2
