Mitsuko Uchida in conversation with Gerhard Forck
Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with Mitsuko Uchida and Simon Rattle
Simon Rattle’s performance of the complete piano concertos of Beethoven was a highlight of the 2009/2010 season. The soloist was Mitsuko Uchida: a “queen of her instrument” (The New York Times) who has been charming Berliner Philharmoniker audiences since 1984 with her at once sensitive and sinewy tone. To start off the cycle, the First Piano Concerto was framed by two works by Ligeti and Jean Sibelius’ First Symphony.
