Who looks around like she does to the conductor to the orchestra and how she looks to her keyboard the way she does with excitement of a child playing is a true musician. The 4th probably the most difficult concerto for interpretation and technique is well developed. A great interpretation by a great musician. Love Beethoven love her.
My favest Beethoven Piano concerto, arguably my favest piano concerto, where playing everything in PURE Perfection is a must! And I agree with you! So much so that a poor interpretation of the 4th would be sacrilege to me! But This Is Perfection, Uchida, Mariss Jansons and orchestra together took us to another Special World where this sublime concerto exists.
Talk about dramatic moment ... that entrance fixed with anticipation and then such gentle pressure on the keys to bring out the sublime. A gift that keeps giving, thank you Mitsuko Uchida.
Yes, it's a very dramatic moment. Like you say, sublime. Its like she's putting all her weight into that first chord, but it's so delicate and so incredibly profound. You can even see some people in the orchestra taking a breath before she starts. Beethoven was such an amazing genius. And Uchida brings so much depth to the music. Pity about the coughing though...
THE best live performance I have ever attended was of Ms. Uchida playing piano and directing from the piano the English Chamber Orchestra in Mozart's piano concerto no. 22. Us, the audience, was left stunned by the performance. I felt emotionally moved with sort of a buzz for several days afterward. This happened nearly 40 years ago and I still remember it vividly. I even remember Ms. Uchida's outfit.
Great performance! Haters get over yourselves regarding her facial expressions. If you've ever played Beethoven, you know the music is amazing and your body gets possessed by the spirit. She's also communicating/acting to the conductor so he can interpret and react with the orchestra.
There's a reverence and delicacy in this performance and Dame Mitsuko has the magical ability to illuminate the whole work differently from any other pianist. So good that it dragged me away from my reading until I had to desist altogether. A very rare occurrence.
The performances of Uchida on Beethoven, Mozart, Schumann, and Schubert will always be very close to my heart. She understands these four so well on a musical level, that whenever she plays their compositions, it is almost as if she is communicating with them directly. It is the joy of every composer to hear their composition come to life, and Uchida is there to explain to them how beautiful the music is that they heard in their heads. I am sure that Beethoven, Mozart, Schumann and Schubert would be happy to know that their compositions are still played, and at such a high level of musicality and sensitivity.
Aaaah, the fourth ... ! This uniquely magnificent and beautiful concerto. Hard to describe this performance because it is just so, so incredibly brilliant .. !!! The orchestra and conductor, absolutely fabulous. And excellently recorded. Mitsuko Uchida is almost beyond description. Her interpretation is just so amazing that it shows perfectly the under realized great genius, giant genius of Beethoven. You can see in the this whole performance what a giant Beethoven really is.. That very short coda to the first movement and final coda shows very clearly this great genius of Beethoven, all so magnificently performed by orchestra and Mitsuko. Fantastic 😊
What a second movement . What a wonderful dialogue between piano and orchestra. What messages of pain and hope at this time when the world is about to explode.
Ms. Uchida's style is well suited for Beethoven's most original piano concerto. She captures it's mercurial qualities, playfulness, mistery and ethereality.
Concertos- there were 5. The 5th is called “Emperor,” I don’t know why. LVB may have thought about dedicating this to him, but was enraged when Napoleon began battering the walls of Vienna with his cannons. I also like this concerto, his 4th, best. Beethoven wrote 9 symphonies.
Mitsuko Uchida is well known as a Mozart player, but this performance proves that she is excellent in Beethoven as well. 内田さんはモーツアルトの演奏家として知られていますが、この演奏を聞くと、彼女のベートーベンも素晴らしいと思います。シカゴでの生演奏も何回か聞きましたが、彼女は本当に日本が誇る世界最高の演奏家の一人です。末永く、御健康を祈念しています。
What a wonderful dynamic and heartfelt passionate performance... To me this was Beethoven's finest piano concerto... It has the most beautiful second movement - Mitsuko and orchestra were playing together perfectly... Bravo
WHAT a recording! headphones on, sit back and relax to experience a trip. WONder full. What control, what dexterity. Beautiful. I suspect that my brain does not work as well as hers and I'm grateful to hear it. Complete and utter respect for the conductor too though. What a marriage of conductor, soloist and orchestra. In parts it's sublime. Leaves me full of love and admiration for the piece and the art
Sublime. Thanks Mitsuko Uchida for the wonderful interpretation of one of the most marvelous piano concertos. Thanks Classical V 1 for sharing this level.
+teetonball1 I can't agree with the comparison with Gilels, who was pretty much in a class of his own. Uchida' playing is undoubtedly very fine, but rather lightweight, whereas Gilels was one of the most full blooded pianists ever with a leonine tone that few have ever got close to. Also in this concerto Gilels played the rarely heard and much harder double trill cadenza with total aplomb....
Hmmmm interesting point, I'm going to have to revisit some older recordings methinks. I still think that Gilels 1957 recording (I think) with the Philharmonia under Leopold Ludwig (Testament) is unsurpassed and if any recording can be said to be "definitive" that one surely must be in contention. The opening solo is more felt than heard. Superb.
+teetonball1 But obviously a very sensitive listener..... Whilst Michelangeli and Richter can on occasion reach unsurpassed heights of transcendence, if i was allowed to listen to only one pianist evermore it would be Gilels.
If you're interested in a modern performance that I'd consider equally great as the gilels, let me recommend to you the recording of Buchbinders live performance with the Vienna Philarmonic. Absolutely fantastic playing and incredible cohesion with the orchestra, which I prefer to the Gilels recording. Although it's really cool to hear Gilels play that alternative almost Rachmaninov-esque cadenza. I wonder why it's so rarely performed today. I might prefer the more popular one overall, but I don't see a good reason to neglect the other one.
A gem. She is pure joy and sublime emotions.... Live performance transcendent beyond music and listening; another communicative conscious realm. That's great art.
This is the best interpretation ever listed for the concerto n°4. The sentiment and interpretation of the pianist is equivalent to the compositor genius. Sublime using deeply the piano virtuality, Mitsuko Uchida is technically flawless. Relevant is the sublime way how she extracted the superb sound, that becomes this masterpiece magnificent. The player interior feeling of the music is amazing.Viva Beethoven and this superb pianist!!!
So beautiful and powerful and yet delicate like the wings of a butterfly. Wonderful performance orchestra and all. Mitsuko Uchida has such grace, expression and total command.
Für mich eine persönliche Offenbarung. Sie hat sich schon seit längerem in mein Herz gespielt. Uchida gehört für mich zu den 2 besten Pianistinnen aller Zeiten. Aber hier geht es über die Normalität weit hinaus. Ich höre nun seit über 55 Jahren Klaviermusik und hatte selbst einmal einen originalen Steinway Flügel.. Aber ich kann mich nicht erinnern so ein wundervolles Klavierspiel jemals gehört zu haben.Haben Sie Dank dafür, Frau Uchida !!
Absolutely exquisite. I could go on for days attempting to describe the beauty, eloquence and resplendence of Ms. Uchida, this orchestra and Ludwig Van. It just gives me chills.
Sitting, listening in my car at lunchtime I just heard her play this on WQXR radio New York and had to make a comment. I do not know if I heard this particular recording or a different one, but I am stupefied at how she can make that piano ring like a bell. I do not know what the correct term is, but I'll call it a "glissando" how she strikes the keys going up and down the Scale, and I heard each note ring like a bell, and the low notes were played much like thunder in the background... As others said here, the first word that comes to mind is "sublime". Edit: I am listening again, this time on RUclips on Bose Earbuds, and I must say it sounded more dynamic when I heard it in the car, plus the was no audience noise between movements (maybe it was muted on the radio) or this YT recording is different from what I heard on the radio.
Great performance! I love the coughs. 😂 Uchida is the best. This is Jude I’m a musician just like Uchida. I am 15 years old and I ❤ classical music and some of my friends think that I am crazy but I don’t care!😂
@halaabuissa9182 - Good for you. I was introduced to and developed a love for a lot of classical music via the great Carl Stalling, who directed the musical Orchestra for Warner Brothers cartoons, including Bugs Bunny. He included a lot of enjoyable classical music in the cartoons.
What a wonderful combination, the orchestra and Uchida playing as one... Uchida gets the utmost soul-felt sounds from this wonderful piano concerto, in my opinion, one of the best that Beethoven wrote, especially that wonderful slow movement..... Every time I hear Uchida playing this I feel like I have gone to heaven.....
Just without any words: Beethoven! The Master of classical music! It`s music from heaven. Heavenly, celestial, divine, godlike! There are three Masters: Bach, Beethoven and Mozart. And Beethoven is surely one of the Greatest artists ever! It‘s like a dream, Not understandable for a simple human being!

Marion Feldhausen Kein Wunder bei diesem Dirigenten! Mariss Jansons ist wohl der beste lebende Dirigent (2015) - war es aber wohl auch schon zum Zeitpunkt dieser Aufnahme (seit dem Tod Carlos Kleibers). Ich ziehe jedoch die Aufnahme mit Krystian Zimerman, Leonard Bernstein und den Wiener Philharmoniker dieser vor. Mitsuko Uchida ist eine exzellente Pianistin (v.a. für Mozart) aber an den Ton von (Rubinstein/)Zimerman kommt sie nicht heran.

Not a big fan of Beethoven, but the 4th is one of greatest works of classical music. I've heard it played by many interpreters, but they rarely balance the many layers in this music, beginning with for me the spiritual or mystical. But this Lady understands and I am amazed at the nuances and care. Brava to her and bravo to Ludwig.
Thank you. Utterly lovely. Every moment. This sounds ridiculous, but she reminds me of Evgeny Kissin in that when she performs I am never seized by anxiety that she may do something “wrong.” For me, she is a perfect pianist and musician, with a delightful sense of humour and mischief. Thanks also to the orchestra and to Mariss Jansons for a great performance.
I've listened to this piece with wonder and ecstasy for 50 years (still thick the Fleisher/Szell is the best). I think Ive heard it just too many times, and then time passes and I hear it again, like now, and it's magic again; really, a miracle.
Please DO NOT JUDGE. As a person with facial tics and some vocal, I am often judged. It is Tourette's and it happens when I am most stressed out, as in performing. So, please do not judge Ms. Uchida. I am not saying she has Tourette's, but I am saying that she FEELS DEEPLY her music and expresses it in her face.....like so many rock and roll guitar players for instance. Be kind.
She and the orchestra are really talking to each other. A fabulous performance.
Who looks around like she does to the conductor to the orchestra and how she looks to her keyboard the way she does with excitement of a child playing is a true musician. The 4th probably the most difficult concerto for interpretation and technique is well developed. A great interpretation by a great musician. Love Beethoven love her.

And Master Claudio Arrau
What a second movement . What a wonderful dialogue between piano and orchestra. What messages of pain and hope at this time when the world is about to explode.
Ms. Uchida's style is well suited for Beethoven's most original piano concerto. She captures it's mercurial qualities, playfulness, mistery and ethereality.
Her best version is with Kurt Sanderling and the Concertgebouw.
I want to praise the wind instruments and conductor for adding such gorgeous and balanced color behind Uchida. It really enhanced the performance.
After listening to Ms Uschida's masterclass right before, takes this masterpiece to a even higher level.
If you only hear the first few chords, you are in another world....Thank you for this inspiring performance

Ya it's nothing wrong in expressing after all aim is to enjoy the music and not hide our emotions
Comepletely agree - she is just so deeply moved by the music
