Mitsuko Uchida at Carnegie Hall by Samuel Lipman (1827 words) |
 | Miss Uchida, born in 1948, studied from the age of twelve in Vienna, where her father was stationed as a diplomat. |
| Miss Uchida is noted for her performances and recordings of Mozart—she has recorded all the Mozart concertos, with Jeffrey Tate and the English Chamber Orchestra, for Philips. |
| Here, in Miss Uchida’s performance, Schoenberg’s dynamic indications, in which only one lonely and brief mezzo-forte and one piano competes with the prevailing level of pianissimo, were perfectly realized; as was true in her earlier Webern performance, the technical means of performance were perfectly attuned to the emotional content of the music. |

| Mitsuko Uchida continued her studies with Richard Hauser at the Vienna Academy of Music. |
| Despite her success and fame, Mitsuko Uchida barely gives 50 concerts and records only one CD a year (exclusively for Philips). |
| Mitsuko Uchida plays Schubert as if he were still alive, conveying his tenderness, his subdued passion, his nostalgia, and the mystery surrounding his music. |
