What a beautiful contrast between constrained Beethoven power emanating from the orchestra and celestial calm coming from the piano. Eventually, they meet in a beautiful concordance. Ms. Uchida is superb, as ever.
For me this 2nd mvmt is all about the psychology of depression: the vulnerable fragile soul (piano) painfully tries to hide from a threatening overwhelming force of the outside world (orchestra)
The movement is technically easy enough for a second-year student to learn, but dynamically complex enough to challenge the most accomplished masters. When I was on the concert tour many years ago, this movement was one of my favorites.
Probabilmente io al suo posto avrei interrotto, avrei chiesto alla persona di uscire accompagnata dai commessi, e avrei riattaccato dall'inizio del II. L'analfabetismo e la rudimentalità culturale del post-moderno devono avere un limite. Ci deve essere un minimo di pedagogia sociale.
Heard it on the Dutch radio today. Was listening to rock music but do not like that music so I switched to classical music and at that moment the 2part of concert piano nr 4 did begin. Wauw thank you, that is why I love Beethoven and classical music so much.
The Person with the cell phone is immortalized as "THAT FOOL" alongside this otherwise beautiful recording. May I live all my days without ever being so immortalized in infamy and disgrace.
It is Andante con moto - so perhaps it is a little too slow - But it is all in the manner of a recitative - like in the ninth symphony its expression strains to the very edge of the human voice.
1. Describes the musical characters (images) of the ruler of the underworld of Hades and the godsinger Orpheus. With times please! 2. At what point do the spirits seem to soften (become gentler)? 3. At what point does our singer get to the top of the expression? 4. What could be his greatest despair after losing Euridike forever? 5. How does our ancient hero stay in Beethoven's hands? A. Endless angry B. Indecisive C. Resigned D. Intoxicated Important note: our audio sample ends at 05:23 6. Reflection. DO YOU believe in this maxim, not only from distant antiquity, that music would have the power to make people better and nobler? Of course there is no right or wrong answer here.
i haven't been to classical music events, but is it acceptable for people to not put their phone on vibrate mode? it was annoying even listening to the youtube video.
Some people fell asleep LOL, I think the expressive sadness and the beauty of the music was too much for them. Or the digesting of dinner got to them. Yeeds, do try to eat lighter dinner before a classical concerts and for g-dssake, turn off your damn cell phones!!! It's so annoying.

The second movement of the 4th is one of the greatest movements in the piano concerto repertoire!
+Richard Johnson
I would say it's by all odds _the_ greatest.
+polymath7
I sometimes think the passage beginning at 2:44 is the most beautiful sound the human species has ever produced...
I totally agree. It is tender soft vulnerable and tragic.
I like the second movement of his 5th piano concerto better. Just me.

Uchida is an embodiment of music....she is the music herself....resonating in every single soul that surrounds her.
Her so-moving rendition seems reflective of her face, that of a person who has lived and felt deeply.
lol

Well done to Ms. Uchida for continuing after that persons mobile rang at 1:17 Brill pianist!

I would’ve been sobbing if I experienced this live. Such a pure display of visceral emotion.

I believe this part and part 2 of his symphony 7 are tow best master pieces of Beethoven’s works.

Music calms the savagery of the human heart.
This is a very short movement. And then again given the life of solitude it portrays, it is just right.
Con mi madre concurrimos a un concierto así y nos unió
más sentimentalmente de lo que ya estábamos...
Me llevo esa alegría...!!!!!
Very well put; I've always thought of it as one of the genuine defining moments of Western Civilization.
Wonderfull! Contrast is incredible and for me it is exactly what I am looking for in this piece!
Uno de lo movimientos más sublimes.
So moving.
great man of piano...
At 1:18 my phone at home started ringing too. I feel so guilty. LOL
마치 비정한 연인이 멀어져가는 모습을 바라보는 애끓는 심정으로..

Clearly, they haven't improved your knowledge of subject-verb agreement, as well.

I know right? the first chair violinist was smiling at 1:17. Watch him get agitated. especially after the 2nd ring!
WHO LEAVES THEIR CELLPHONE ON DURING A MITSUKO UCHIDA CONCERT?????!!!!!!!!
Such hideous disregard and disrespect.
You can even see the man next to her roll eyes and shake his head. I used to hate that too when I played.
i haven't been to classical music events, but is it acceptable for people to not put their phone on vibrate mode? it was annoying even listening to the youtube video.
1:17 the phone ringing is a total disgrace
what year was this? can anyone please tell me? thanks
