Performing
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 4

Programme also includes

One of Beethoven’s most reflective and serene creations, the Fourth Piano Concerto is an ideal vehicle for Mitsuko Uchida, who conveys “a sense of intimacy and directness in her playing, as well as a certain quiet grace” (San Francisco Chronicle). Riccardo Muti also conducts Glass’ Eleventh Symphony, a colorful, exuberant score that the composer wrote for his own 80th birthday celebration.
