“It’s a Venture – an Adventure” – Mitsuko Uchida and the Beethoven Piano Concertos, Part II
Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 with Mitsuko Uchida and Simon Rattle
In his Fifth Piano Concerto, we experience Beethoven’s perhaps most pugnacious side. In 2010, Mitsuko Uchida and Simon Rattle presented this evidence of impassioned rebellion which even today has lost none of its freshness and vigour. More austere is Sibelius’s Fourth Symphony, whose ascetic severity shocked the audience at the first performance so much that no one dared applaud.
