Question
I wonder if you can tell me where to obtain a DVD and/or CD of Beethoven's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 4 in G major, Op. 58 ... Claudio Arrau,
piano, Philadelphia Orchestra, Riccardo Muti, conductor (1989)
I've searched and searched the web but haven't been able to locate a source.  Any help would be appreciated

Answer
Hello, Don,

The only recording I have found featuring both performers is at ArkivMusic.com. Here is the link:

http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Drilldown?name_id1=858&name_role1=1&comp_id=...

It looks like it is a complete performance, and it's on DVD.

I hope this is what you are looking for.

Arrau has three other recordings available there, but not with Muti.

Let me know if this answers your question, and take care.

Expertise

I am no longer answering questions asking me to identify music. Most music is either on YouTube, which crashes my browser, or on another site that crashes my browser. I am available for other questions.

Experience

I have been playing piano since I was 3, and I am now 66 years old. I took formal lessons for about 11 years, and took some piano and organ performance courses in college. I also sang in the Masterworks Chorale for a number of years, and can sing anything from baritone to first soprano. We performed twice a year, usually a major choral work, ranging from requiem masses to Carmina Burana. I also attended recorder society meetings once a month. We would read compositions and perform them together. I took several children to their music lessons and rehearsals and usually stayed and watched intensely. Our children studied violin, viola, flute, guitar, clarinet, French horn, trumpet, and trombone.

Education/Credentials
I studied piano and organ in college, and took courses in music theory. I have also taken seminars in pre-Columbian folk music with Xochimoki, as well as played a short while in a gamelan, and a balalaika orchestra, where I played autoharp.
