Beethoven’ Piano Concerto No. 4 with Mitsuko Uchida and Simon Rattle

Ludwig van Beethoven shows an unusual side of himself in his Fourth Piano Concerto: not bombastic or heroic, but pensive, sensitive, and delicate. The press reported on how Mitsuko Uchida impressively conveys this emotional world, “effortlessly, as if dreamed into the keyboard”. Simon Rattle also conducts Jean Sibelius’s Second Symphony which owes its popularity mainly to its rapturous finale.
