Toujours aussi fabuleuse, "notre" Martha, et malgré les années qui passent, elle ne perd pas la main ! Et Chung, toujours aussi inspiré ! Excellent concert.
Это потрясающе, в таком возрасте иметь такую подвижность и силу пальцев! У меня нет слов! Сам концерт великолепен и очень подходит Марте. Она великолепна и как-будто не имеет возраста ❤
The world woke up to the phenomenal talent of the Argentinian pianist Martha Argerich in 1964 when she won the International Chopin Piano Competition at the age of 24. She is now arguably the greatest living pianist and can sell out concerts in minutes. You are looking at, to answer a question below, the greatest pianist alive and has been for years. She is ranked 5th best pianist ever behind Debussy. She ranks first with me. An amazing individual. Being 80 has nothing to do with her playing. She is the BEST! I believe she could play most of this without looking at the keys.
Unbelievable, astonishing, astounding, incredible, etc. fail to even begin to accurately describe the talent of this beautiful woman. Words haven't been created yet, and perhaps never will, that can do justice in describing her.
Damn, when she picks up the notes somewhere between 30:15 and 30:30 she is right on top of that pace and has no problem sending it home. And the respect she has for the conductor looking to him to ensure smooth tempo changes shows you she works well with a group and knows a good orchestra is important. Its also indicative of her playing the purest interpretation of the music as possible for modern age.
Sobre todo en el minuto 1:48, es muy notorio. Me hizo recordar el caso del músico a quien le dijeron : Maestro ¿ por qué toca usted todo tan rápido ? y respondió: ¡ Porque puedo ! Así es la maestra Argerich.
Watched it almost 20 times and become a fan of this concerto already luv Martha argerich playingi am just a piano beginner but dreaming of playing this poece
Il me semble que Prokofiev est un des artistes qui ont le mieux oeuvré pour le renouvellement au XX°s. du style symphonique, il a su bouleverser ce style russe hérité de Tchaïkovski et de Rimski Korsakov pour d'avantage d'expression donnée aux vents ( cuivres et bois ) percussions, et piano il a su maintenir le rôle des cordes tout en leur ôtant cette omni/présence/potence parfois extrême.. Avec Bartok et Stravinski, il a donné à la musique d'autres moyens d'envisager la mélodie et mis fin ou presque au romantisme, bien que par exemple certains moments du deuxième mouvement du Concerto pour Piano N°3 soient des réminiscences parfaites du climat romantique. J'apprécie bien évidemment l'énergie extrêmement bien ciblée de Martha Argerich au piano sous l'excellente direction de Myung Mum Chung ..
Excelente el trabajo musical camarístico del piano en distintas secciones del concierto. Relevancia rítmica notoria y lo más interesante: la gran dinámica de intensidades para lograr los bellos colores musicales desde lo sugerente hasta la nitidez más brillante. Excelente el trabajo de los músicos de la orquesta.
She sometimes put bandages on her fingers (as she did in Milan in 2016), maybe to avoid pain in some glissandos... But I watched also to an interview where she said that her nails break quite often
Sergei Prokofiev Piano Concerto in C Major Op 26 No 3 1. 0:51: I. Andante - Allegro 2. 10:37: II. Tema con variazioni 3. 20:39: III. Allegro ma non troppo 🎵💐🎵💐🎵💐🎵💐🎵💐🎵💐🎵
Сеньора Аргерих как всегда на высоте! И оркестр какой замечательный, как будто один человек исполняет. Кто дирижёр? Как показательно маску в карман поглубже затолкал)))))))))
It's painfully obvious, that the camera man is NOT a pianist.. missing most of the octaves from the 2nd movement.. most of the famous double arpeggi.... still, one of the greatest joys to see/hear this magnificent piece in this dreadful year.
pls do re-edit so one can see the funky glisses in the 3rd mvmnt (29:32 and others, same funk level.. as mvmnt progresses). happy (in 3 days), 80th 'bravura' bday, dearest martha! may you retain your youthful spirit for decades ahead!
Amazing that she still has the chops to tackle this highly demanding concerto. I think Previn and the LSO were better accompanists for her back in ‘77. In that filmed concert, the planets were all aligned. Same with her Rach 3 with Chailly, in Berlin in ‘82. I’ve written this before but how I wish Argerich had committed the Chopin Études, both sets, on record. I am certain she could play them now if she wanted. Can’t someone throw her a pile of Euros on the condition she learns them? 🙂
Yep, this recording is nice and I'm glad she keeps playing this concerto but I think it is basically impossible to top the legendary recording with Previn.
Come on Samuel!! Not true!! More colorful beautiful piano sound than Argerich=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Artur Rubinstein Radu Lupu Vladimir Ashkenazy! More powerful louder than Argerich=Mikhail Pletnev( Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The second loudest was Lazar Berman! More genius than Argerich=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Alexei Lubimov Stanislav Igolinski! Rosa Tamarkina played faster and more power already years 1937-1948! Argerich not had the best sound! Argerich not the best genius! Argerich not the most powerful! Argerich can not be the greatest ever!!
The timing is really off, percussion and winds consistently come in late. I would have to think when musicians are that far apart, speed of sound becomes a real issue. As would the fact that you're used to being able to hear other sections much louder, so you can no longer rely on auditory cues. Something this fast and furious, these latency issues would definitely make it sound less tight. It's so ambitious to try to play this with a socially distanced orchestra! It'd be much better to play something a little less ambitious, but I commend them for trying.
@@AshleyPaul interesting interpretation... I'd say that it's more a matter of sound intensity than sound speed. Also, I suspect that Argerich sometimes tends to follow his own tempo 😬 but we still love her ♥️
@@azurbtkl3901 She looks startled at a few points that things don't sound together. I do think speed of sound matters! I play electric guitar with a wireless unit and if I just walk 25 meters away from the stage, I'm shocked at how much delay there is compared to when I'm on stage, and it looks like the percussionists are that far away from her.
The gratest... I don’t know.. It's difficult to make a comparison between the greats... it's as if we had to decide if Michelangelo or Leonardo is better. I believe she is Probably the greatest living performer.... But it's just my opinion
Demi Lovato gets 10m views and this gets 44k... I don't like being one of those, but it does say a lot about people's ability to appreciate the finer things in life.
@@daniels7052 She has always had that habit of looking up at conductors periodically. I have always taken it as a sign that she is in her own musical world but realizes she should check occasionally on what the guy with the baton is doing.
17:50 the orchestra is NOT With Her! Then it's like she reduces her tempo in order to be together with the orchestra. That should not happen! The orchestra should follow the soloist.
Sometimes she put bandages on her fingers for playing reasons or it could be she injured a nail/finger. But she has more than one on her left hand so I think it is option 1.
i would love then to hear some of your ballet scores of perhpas a few recordings of one of your numerous symphonies or concertos. when you have all that, come back to me and you will be as genius as prokofiev the master. otherwise keep dreaming
I've never heard any of the slow sections played like this.... Feels like 12 Druids will appear at any moment. Argerich is not always easy to follow, but this orchestra no bueno
Perfect. Somewhat different than before. Allegro, ma non troppo fantastic, technically very virtuous and correct, but somewhere her pashion disappeared a little, maybe because of empty chairs. Some funny disagreements in the orchestra. Something messy in sound recording.
Everyone is praising this recording and no doubt Martha is a very good pianist but there are some nasty note slips and I have heard much better versions of this such as Yuja Wang and Kun-woo Paik!
