Mozart is a composer with great spirit in the classical music world, his musical works are sensual, delicate, beautiful and beautiful, always allowing people to experience sweetness in bitterness, feel warmth in the cold, and seem to return to the innocence of childhood in the disturbed human feelings.
Like many piano masters, Mitsuko Uchida has a deep love and awe for Mozart's works, and in addition, she is passionate about playing works by Beethoven, Chopin, Schoenberg, Schubert, Schumann, Debussy and others, and the piano works of these composers are also her "good plays".
Mitsuko Uchida was fortunate because she had a diplomat father, and his father was very willing to nurture the piano talent she had shown at a young age, and at the age of 12 she was able to receive an authentic and high-quality classical music education in Vienna, the "capital of music". She has since won many international awards for her superb piano performance.
At the same time, she is also interesting, watching her play on the stage, you can always be amused by her expression, is a typical meme output performance master, and also likes to wear a gauze dress like a raincoat and will bow to the audience with a soft "folded" body before each performance to express her heart.

In the Western classical music scene, female pianists are often easily overlooked, but Mitsuko Uchida can finally be crowned such a high-level name by many professional music critics and fans, which is one of the few figures in the classical performance world, and its authority is naturally self-evident.
As the German "Frankfurt Pründe" once commented: "The most valuable point of Mozart interpreted by Mitsuko Uchida is to achieve the most favorable balance between the contradiction between technique and subjectivity, liveliness and sensibility."
Admittedly, Mitsuko Uchida is one of the few performers who can capture mozart's delicate aura, in addition to her unique delicate body as a woman, she is not aimed at showing off, focusing on expressing her heart, good at creating a deep performance, to a large extent, she also fully showed the world her awe of Mozart's musical spirituality.
