| PRESS QUOTES |
"There seems to be a unanimity of view from first note to last...few performances come closer to hers in the sheer nobility and grandeur of this music..."
Classic CD
"Mitsuko Uchida's recordings continue to win golden opinions on first appearance and thereafter which is always the sterner test. This pairing of Beethoven's Third and Fourth Piano Concertos is formidable too, the playing at once brilliant and sensitive, rigorous and free-spirited..."
