Amazingly, she agreed to do a short interview, and talked about Chopin and the concerto in particular. Here's a transcipt of what she said, in case some of you are interested.

Summary in English Martha Argerich is a living legend. Born in Argentine 1941 she can truly be said to be the leading pianist of her generation. Not only famous for her virtuosery but also for her musical memory, she does not need to look at notes to play the music, only hear it. Her temperament might be troublesome for her, as she has showed a lot of times. The myths around her keep the legende alive. After more than ten years of exile she has this season returned to the concert halls. The recordings in the 'Greatest Pianists' collection span over the years 1967-82. It will be impossible to write about her interpretation of these four piano concertoes in a traditional way. Argerich is unique and this production is a jewel.

After winning the Bolzano and Geneva Piano Competitions in 1957, and the Warsaw Chopin Competition in 1965, the name of Argentine pianist Martha Argerich was catapulted to worldwide prominence. Flashes in the pan dazzle and fizzle out, but Argerich has grown from strength to strength, hailed right from the very outset as a virtuoso of the highest order destined to be remembered as one of the veritable giants of the keyboard in this century. Apart from her gloriously incandescent pianism and voluptuous, blazing personality, she is also best-known for her enigmatic, elusive personality. Even now, I find it hard to imagine a keyboard giant and flamboyant entertainer like her, capable of the most fearless bravura, to fear performing so much that she had decided to give up a significant part of it altogether: Indeed, since the mid-80s, Argerich's prolonged absence from both the studios and the concert-stage in solo piano repertoire is both baffling and frustrating to her many admirers.

Bach: Toccata, Partita, English Suite 2/ Martha Argerich by: Johann Sebastian Bach Martha Argerich Editorial Review: A lot of pianophiles have been waiting for the reissue of this 1980 LP, Argerich's only Bach recording. She played the same Partita at her Carnegie Hall recital in the Spring of 2000, suggesting that she just doesn't play much Bach. These performances have the pianist's typical intensity of approach. Her fingers do the talking, with some dazzling clear articulation reminiscent of Glenn Gould on a good day, and she seldom blurs any of the textures. She also has a very good feeling for Bach's dance rhythms; the closing Gigue of the Partita makes you want to jump up and put on your dancing shoes. Argerich uses an unusually wide dynamic range for Bach, and some of the dreamy slow movements won't be to the taste of all listeners. Nobody, though, will be able to ignore these performances; while they are playing, they seem like the only way to do it. The 1980 sound is still fine, and although the disc is LP length (50 minutes), the price is right.

Throughout her career, any appearance by her guarantees sellout crowds and an evening of memorable, not to say insane, music making. She has always drastically limited her repertoireabout a dozen concertos, a few more solo and chamber worksand will not perform or record solo recitals at all any more. But every single thing that she has recorded is a prime recommendation, plain and simple. She's one of the very few artists whose recordings one should collect just because of whom she is: unique and incomparable. These two concertos perfectly illustrate her gifts as an interpreter. Your ears will be glued to your speakers. David Hurwitz Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating:

Main March 21, 2004 Martha Argerich and Prokofief I discovered that my favourite pianist, Martha Argerich in her international debut recital at the age of 19 played an incredible piece by Prokofief - the Tocatta Opus 11 - that he composed and played at the age of 23 in order to gain attention and establish himself in the music world. Its a really dramatic piece - I heard it last Sunday played by another great pianist John Lill . He filled the Royal Festival Hall effortlessly playing both hands at each end of the piano so hard and fast it was breathtaking. When first played in the early 20th century listeners thought this piece sounded dischordant, brash and unharmonic. Now to me the harmonies and rhythms are exciting and complex but not unusual any more. Martha Argerich plays everything I have heard her on strongly and clearly and yet with deep expression. I hope there is a chance to hear her play soon. TrackBack Comments Post a comment Name: Email Address: URL: Remember personal info? Yes No Comments:

Founder Len Mullenger: Len@musicweb.uk.net MusicWeb Internet powered by FreeFind Ravel, Prokofiev, Mussorgsky Martha Argerich (piano); London Philharmonic Orchestra/Emmanuel Krivine, Royal Festival Hall, Saturday, March 20 th , 2004 (CC) Argerich was, interpretatively, in a different universe. If there is one element of this performance to take away, it is the sheer variety of touch Argerich brought out from within Prokofiev’s score. True, Argerich’s martellato set the adrenalin full steam ahead (it was properly martellato - this hammer has a mistress!) and the finale showed on occasion what a huge sound she can make. But there were also moments of magical soft playing (here is one pianist not afraid to play pianissimo, or quieter). Her trill that opens the piano’s contribution to the second movement was a model of evenness, and I for one would happily sell my soul to the Devil to play the ensuing scale like that - just the once! The sheer blackness of the close of the second movement came as a revelation (as did the lyric climax of the last movement, which sounded unsettlingly like a nod in the direction of Messiaen). The energy of the final pages evidently transferred to the audience, as the ovation was (perhaps predictably) massive.

Why does one go to a concert? To sacrifice ourselves to a social rite ? No, that time has long since passed. One goes to concert, one listens to music, because it helps to 'live'... We are here to share an emotion, to take part in an adventure, to follow a steep path watched by danger. How one can imagine what an audience must have felt going to listen to Maria Callas, whose weaknesses even were beautiful. Liberation is right - they're 'the last ones to light the fire.'
