I believe she has several (see here), but I suspect the one used on the recording will be a Steinway.

Personally, I don't much care for that album though, much as I love Uchida's pianism.

Dean,
She plays on Hamburg Steinways mostly, as do the majority of the great recording artists. I'm quite positive that her Beethoven recordings are recorded on a Hamburg Steinway; the easiest way to tell (for me, anyway) is to listen to the wonderful lower bass tones. Very unique among pianos and the strength of Steinway is in the bass and its somewhat imperfect overtones...

Oliver,

I am almost sure that the music is the same. Personally, I rather look at Natassja Kinski than at some car plates..
