Beethoven - Piano Concerto 4 [Uchida/ Sanderling-Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra]

Here's another instalment in the ongoing saga of this wonderful three disc boxset, of the complete Beethoven Piano Concertos, last month i spoke about the Third Concerto by Uchida [11th September 2010], and here's the Fourth, the Third is in C Minor, but the Fourth is in G Major, however it's the Fourth that sounds the darker work, and the Third sounds like in a bright key.

It's the opening first movement that i really enjoyed,

Here's Mitsuko Uchida playing a section of the first movement on YouTube, roughly about 5 minutes in, with Simon Rattle conducting the Berliner Philharmoniker.
