	Mitsuko Uchida at Carnegie Hall by Samuel Lipman
		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.

		Uchida was as good as her word, but she hasn't always stepped on to the stage feeling she has something to prove.
		Uchida's insistence on the composer's integrity has won her friends in the music world, among them the conductor Sir Charles Mackerras, who found in her the ideal partner in his exploration of the unwritten ornamentation that Mozart would have added when performing his own keyboard music.
		Uchida has forged partnerships with other conductors too, notably Kurt Sanderling, with whom she recorded a Beethoven concerto cycle, and Pierre Boulez, who conducted her remarkable recording of Schoenberg's Piano Concerto with the Cleveland Orchestra in 2001.

	Guardian \| Mitsuko Uchida
		Uchida has to be one of the most satisfying performers around.
		Uchida maintained an understated, music-box calm in the first movement; the shattering climax crept up on us only to evaporate even more quickly, but it cast a knowing shadow over the rest of the movement.
		Uchida shook her head when an overenthusiastic punter applauded before the last note had quite faded; moments later she was laughing and nodding vigorously, and we needed no persuasion to respond.

	Mitsuko Uchida
		Mitsuko Uchida, a thoughtful and iconoclastic pianist, was born in Tokyo, on December 20, 1948.
		Uchida, never one to rest on her laurels, moved into different repertoire during the 1990s, winning particular notice for her Debussy and Schubert solo piano recordings and her Beethoven concerti.
		Uchida does not like to be pigeonholed, and often strikes out on her own path; for example, she and a piano technician spent two years transforming a piano into something she felt she could use for Schubert.

		Mitsuko Uchida traite la musique de Schubert comme si elle avait été écrite en cette fin de siècle, comme si de chaque note pouvait jaillir une étincelle de vie.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Mozart: Sonatas for Piano & Violin, Mitsuko Uchida, CD
		The CD's cover photograph seems to make an ironic comment upon this fact, placing star pianist Mitsuko Uchida by her keyboard in the foreground, while violinist Mark Steinberg (better known as a member of the Brentano String Quartet than as a soloist) stands self-effacingly in the distance.
		Uchida and Steinberg have not only demonstrated their mastery of this music but also whetted our appetite for more -- whether it be further Mozart, or whatever else they might choose to share with audiences in the future.
		Legendary pianist Mitsuko Uchida is clearly the dominant partner, and rising violinist Mark Steinberg is only her deferential sidekick.

		Uchida brings her vast experience as a Mozart performer to these two very Mozartean piano concertos, but she also understands the need to project Beethoven's extra measure of fire and intensity.
		Some would say that Uchida is not a 'big sound', but hearing her play all five of the Beethoven Concerti in the current cycle with the LA Philharmonic with Esa-Pekka Salonen reveals that she can garner more powerful pure sound from the piano than the majority of her colleagues.
		The difference in Uchida's approach is her total communication with the orchestra: her concentration even when the piano is tacit is palpable and she seems visually and sonically wedded to the conductor and the musicians.

	RECITAL REVIEW: An Evening Of Piano Greatness By Mack McCray (Mitsuko Uchida, May 14, 2000)
		Mitsuko Uchida's recital at Herbst Theater on Sunday evening for San Francisco Performances was a triumph, a remarkable exception to the lack of great piano playing so typical of San Francisco.
		Her performance of this work was most memorable, holding her audience in that mesmerized, almost neurotically focused state until the final, supremely consoling measures in B major.
		On one level what distinguishes Uchida is her integrity: she is as honest and serious and intelligent a performer as I have ever encountered.

		Also note that close-ups of Uchida's facial expressions could be quite distracting and even the way she bowed.
