No pianist conveys the rapture of Mozart quite like Mitsuko Uchida does. Inward-looking moments of repose
positively levitate under her fingers. On the turn of a single note, she can achieve a kind of weightlessness
that can still an entire hall. On the surface of it, it's a question of what pianists might call "touch", but,
on a deeper level, Uchida understands better than most the mystical correlation between simplicity and purity in Mozart.
