Japan 1996 My friend's site:Download the full score of the Chopin's 1st piano Concerto arranged for two pianos: olcbarcelonamus... - The 1st piano is the soloist and the 2nd piano is the orchestra!
Martha Argerich is my idol.Since I started the study of piano, she has been my myth,my dream and the absolute reference.My nickname Argerich68,which wants to be an homage to her and not an attempt to be compared to her. Martha forever in my heart!! This Chopin's concert interpreted so good is a paradise!Thanks. Annarita Santagada
this concerto is among my very favorite pieces of music ever written, and this movement is just sublimely, brilliantly written. chopin at his best. i think even he would love argerich's interpretation of it. stunning, ethereal, otherworldly. indescribably romantic and breathtaking.
Can music get to be more lyrical and romantic than that? I doubt it. Thank you Chopin for creating this heavenly music. Beautiful interplay between piano and bassoon starting at 5:47.
¡Martha que grandiosa que eres! Esta noche cercana al invierno, estoy dedicada hace horas a ver muchas de tus presentaciones, todas tan magistrales. Te tengo en un altar. Desde Rosario-Argentina
A mi me está pasando lo mismo, en esta misma ciudad de Rosario. 2 de junio de 2013. Y le pasará quién sabe por cuanto tiempo a generaciones futuras. Pianistas maravillosas no surgen todos los años!
I have actually taken an entire semester course of him, and I really don't feel like arguing. But I respect crazymofo's insight- it's just one opinion. and whatever you say is your opinion. I respect both of them. I am jsut recognising some validity in CM's comment, not necessarily supporting it. In any case, Argerich plays this movment beautifully and if i didnt see that it was a woman playing it wouldnt have made any difference.
Live audience... please try to cough only at the loud parts of the music... not between movements, not during rests, and definitely not during the soft parts...
Somehow she plays really beautiful. But somehow, I think it is strange, that instead to make an effekt of Rubato she makes one of sometimes playing straight and non rubato. Its a little bit like driving with a bycycle with square wheels instead of round ones...
i dont get whats so stupid about that. its not that he was exactly femininine, but very sickly, and thus, more fragile in his playing (really no offense to women- sensitivity is a good thing, and obiously Martha has the power too)
