Mitsuko Uchida receives RPS Gold Medal - 8 May 2012, London (AUDIO FIXED)
Dame Mitsuko Uchida received the Royal Philharmonic Society Gold Medal at the RPS Music Awards in London on 8 May 2012 www.royalphilharmonicsociety.o...
The Society's citation reads: "Mitsuko Uchida has been enthralling audiences for decades with the sensitivity, insight, and unshowy brilliance of her playing. She is beloved by audiences the world over and held in special affection in Britain, where she now lives.
But she is not an artist who craves the limelight, devoting much of her time to rehearsal and study. Her luminous and penetratingly intelligent playing of the classical composers, especially the Viennese trio of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, has justly gained her worldwide respect and acknowledgement as one of the great pianists of our time. Through the Borletti-Buitoni Trust she is also a tireless mentor to young artists.
We salute Mitsuko Uchida therefore as both a peerless musician and a great humanist."
The RPS Gold Medal was initiated in 1870 to commemorate the centenary of Beethoven's birth and bears the effigy of Beethoven. It is the Society's highest honour and is awarded internationally for the most outstanding musicianship. Read more about the Gold Medal here: www.royalphilharmonicsociety.o...

I fell in love with Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 and No. 24 that she plays. admire her. hope she is healthy .
" I haven't quite yet got good enough at doing what i do" !!!!!! She is such a lovely humble lady
I'm sure there was no mistake with the medal ... you deserve more than a medal. You are a brilliant, intelligent, charming and charismatic woman ... and you happen to be a pianist and musician without limits ...
I'm in love with Uchida! ❤
When one follows one’s wish the sources of resistance can be surprising, while encouragement follows the nature of the encourager. Modesty becomes a priceless and engaging virtue. As always, Dame Mitsuko is enchanting.

Such a sensitive soul.
Lol her definition of herself playing badly at home is our definition of playing divinely

What a woman. I love her.
I found her appearance on Desert Island Discs probably the most fascinating I've ever heard on that show. A very thoughtful and articulate lady.
Wow what an inspiration. I am speechless
Uchida is amazing
I may get to see her soon in Cambridge. I am looking forward this.
Please play the Goldberg Variations
