Mozart Piano Concerto No. 9, 2nd Mvt, Part 1 Mitsuko Uchida

Sorry sirtmx. I dind´t speak about beauty, but about "AGE"
She is not a girl.
Concerning a demon............i know it .....bacause i am.............
And a demon speciallist in put down myths.
She is just a good pianist. Good prhasings, good pedals, etc. but nothing great or special.

and do you know how a demon plays?

Uhmmmmm SIRTMX frist seh is not a girl but a pretty old woman and very ugly.
Second: Nobody knows how the angels play.

beauty is more that a pair of boobs and a killer butt, This girl plays like an angel, so sweet, so perfect, it's divine!

Not exactly "termy". I meant sometimes (Very few) some carzy people are authentic genious, as Schumann was. Schumann died completely crazy in a sanatorium. Two years before his death he tried to suicide trowing himself to the river. BUT that kind of real genious among crazy people are only the exceptions. Uchida is just artificial. She thinks she is "doing" the right thing. Good for her and for her fans. I couls be wrong, but my perception is that.

Nothing this beautiful can possibly be an act ;) And I say that with consideration of both her expressions and her ability to play and /feel/ the music along with its emotion.

I usually spent from 3 to 4 months yearly in Japan. Her apprently "Caracter", "Obsesion" , etc. is the typicall "Japanese overacting" when they love too much something, but they don´t have the "Inner" understanding of that. Try to observe "NO" (the japanese traditional acting art) and you will realize it.
All her "Caracterizations" are pure acting. The god thing is: She had the enough decency to don´t go far than it, like the deplorable lang lang.

So then it is sickness that preludes genius?(Which I guess historically makes sense, but frankly I'd say Uchida is pretty obsessive/devoted to her work) Sadly, my high opinions of Uchida still remain.

Interesting your clever observation...BUT the differnce is big. Gould really had a lot of pathologies. he was sick in some degree, BUT he was an authentic genious. All gestures he made were authentic. Anyway even from him i don´t like what he made with his "Body language" sometimes he behave as a mandril, BUT what a mandril. Who play on the earth the Goldberg Variations (any of the 4 versions he recorded)as he did?
So Gould and Uchida are like the water and the gasoline.

I'd say she has more control with her expressions than perhaps Gould, and he isn't "oriental".
