5.0 out of 5 stars Performances that are crystalline in their perfection, August 3, 1999
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Piano Concertos 1 & 2 (Audio CD)
My reaction to this was exactly the opposite of that of the reviewer from Minneapolis; I immediately liked these performances more than Uchida and Sanderling's performances of the third and fourth concerti. We agree, however, that these are wonderful. Both pianist and conductor combine attention to every note with a sense for each concerto's overall structure, and Uchida's pianism is, as always, flawless. The best performances of both pieces that I've heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beaty and comunication withn secure classical discipline, June 23, 2000

ARMANDO TRIGUEIROS (Azores archipelago, Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Piano Concertos 1 & 2 (Audio CD)
Excelente phrasing and dynamics from the orchestra as well as from the piano soloist Uchida, a result of meticolous study os the score. Even with modern instruments the orchestra sounds like a classical orchestra, with very clean textures including the timpani.The perfect equilibrium bethowen a modern piano, modern taste and academical research. Virtuoso playing not only in the fingers, but in mataining during the entire performance the previous conceptions of the work. Magnificent!Uchida here has more drive than in Mozart Piano Concertos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Performance with a deep thought, November 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Piano Concertos 1 & 2 (Audio CD)
At first hearing, it was not as capivating as her performance of Beethoven's No.3 & 4, which was preceedently issued. But as I put this CD on my player, it gets fascinating. She puts a lot of implications and meanings on every note, but it is not air-tight as her Schubert. Her plaing at Cadenza is, again, just awesome. I prefer this to Argerich's recording on DG. Strongly recommended.
