With some artists, the name is enough, and when Mitsuko Uchida plays Beethoven … well, it’s not really necessary to say more. Few musicians on the planet come closer to capturing the combination of eloquence, drama and deep poetry that makes the Fourth Piano Concerto one of Beethoven’s most limitless – and most personal – works. It’s hard to match that, but Vladimir Jurowski always sees things differently, and after beginning with Helmut Lachenmann’s pitch-black musical joke, he scales the huge vistas and Alpine peaks of Bruckner’s colossal Sixth Symphony: a sweeping spiritual voyage filled with some of the 19th century’s most ravishing sounds. Soul music, Austrian-style.
