Mozart, Piano Concerto No.20 in D minor K.466 (Mozartwoche 2001)

Synopsis

The Japanese musician Mitsuko Uchida (* 1948) ranks among the elite pianists of the world. She moved to Vienna at the early age of 12 to study at the Musikhochschule there. In the 1970s she launched her international career which reached its first climax with her recording of Mozart's complete sonatas. Since then Uchida has been regarded as an expert for Mozart's piano works. She is also interested in the works of Haydn, Schubert, Chopin, Schoenberg and Messiaen. Here she brilliantly masters the double task of performing and conducting Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor K. 466. Uchida, a renowned soloist who regularly performs with the Vienna Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic and Chicago Symphony Orchestra, is accompanied by the Camerata Salzburg. The concert was recorded under Horant H. Hohlfeld's direction at the Mozarteum in Salzburg in March 2001.
