    Mitsuko Uchida, The Cleveland Orchestra: MOZART: Piano Concertos; No.18 KV 456 · No.19 KV 459 CD

    $18.98

    Another installment in Uchida's much-admired and Grammy-Award-winning Mozart piano concerto series with the Cleveland Orchestra.
    This new live recording combines the B flat major, No 18, K456 and the F major, No 19, K459, both part of the great series of piano concertos Mozart wrote in Vienna in the mid-1780s.
    Like the composer at the premieres, Uchida directs from the keyboard and enjoys an unusual rapport with one of America s Big Five orchestras.
    Drawing sharper-than-usual contrasts between movements, the pianist, who also conducted, added narrative breadth to the concertos, thereby giving the works, even more, to say than usual. The Plain Dealer, Cleveland (on a concert performance of No.17).
