Quite a collection of Piano Concertos there Darren!!
I have not heard anything of Uchida's playing....how do you rate her Darren; one reads mixed opinions on her performances?

That one is probably my favorite 'Titan'.

Different strokes for different folks eh?
Horenstein still gets my number one vote!

I rate her very highly in Mozart and Schubert. I find her more effective when playing solo pieces; that said the Beethoven PC set is well worth listening to

Interesting comment....I must consider her when I am looking for something appropriate because, as I said, I have none of her recordings at all.

This is a good place to start I think Fergus ;-)
