#CHStaff Picks | "Several years ago, I got to hear pianist Mitsuko Uchida perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 with Mariss Jansons and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. The performance was, as you could expect, phenomenal in every way. But as the second movement began, her sensitive and delicate playing pulled us in. Slowly at first, but then all at once, the shifting in chairs and occasional cough stopped and we were all taken away from the hall to wherever we go when music takes over. It wasn't until the buoyant Rondo final movement began that I realized I had completely lost myself. I don't know what anyone else witnessed, but I realize that is the great power of Carnegie Hall: a place where we can be united by our different experiences."—Rio V, Marketing
