Absolutely. She is brilliant. Martha makes it clear to everybody: if you want to keep fit and mentally alert well into old age, forget about mud baths, yoga for stiff joints, jogging, carrot diets, crossword puzzles, playing Bingo or whatever. There is only one way that surely works: (learn to) play the piano!

What a dream performance!!!!!!

Martha Argerich playing alone...for all of us. Very humbling experience. Martha, may you be safe and stay healthy.

An absolute musical miracle. She will forever be unmatched. Thank God I'm alive to still hear her play.

Seeing her walk on to deathly silence is so surreal

I feel like there's no other pianist on the earth but her.

She is great. There is nothing more to add to that.

I want to keep living as long as Martha Argerich is alive.

We must know that our life is so lucky to living on same century with Martha. Appreciate to your uploading

She is not just a fantastic pianist, she is actually a genius! Genius people are very rare in this world.

Perfection.

I'm addicted with this recording, I listening every day 💖

Age does not matter, mind and spirit and heart does, and Martha got plenty of all 3

She is THE QUEEN! There is no other.

Do you realize, these 2020-2021 Martha gave quite a lots of solo recital rather than previous years (more lot of chamber music), yes i agree to most comments here, we're lucky to have opportunity to listen her solo again. Bravissimo maestra!

Silver lining to every cloud when Martha Argerich returns to solo recitals. She really has lost nothing in her playing, to my ears.

This recording made me fall in love with the third movement! Ms. Argerich the world is applauding from behind screens!

Listened to it today, nearly 4 years after this performance, and it still gives me shivers of emotion, just like it did in 2020. Thank you Mme Argerich for having given us this during difficult times !

absolut wunderschön

When I was younger, I only paid attention to the technical aspects of her music, but in this way, the essence of her music has remained consistent. In a good way. I feel happy just to be able to listen to her playing now. Thank you, Dear Argerich.

This is beautiful music. I just forgot Chopin or even the pianist ......... just beautiful sounds .......... how a strange feeling of quasi-perfection .....

In she strolls, the master is at hand to perform her Chopin delights. Dressed in fabulous just for Freddie as certainly she would know him. The resonance of the Steinway immediately agrees with her voice and tone, then sublime becomes. Oh, Martha.

I love this sonata especially that beautiful melody after the strong theme in the 1st movement played by Martha Argerich❤🎶❤️

Martha Argerich, as sharp as ever ! Magnificent! Thanks 4 this , awesome!

MARTHA ...Orgullo Argentino !

I am once again lost for words. Martha is simply the best.

From the few first scores you can find out. That's him.. Chopin... Doesn't matter if its sonata, polonaise, or prelude.... Its a magic sound that fills the surrounding space then spills out and goes farther... Overwhelmingly sparkling beauty of Chopin music.... The best composer ever walked the planet Earth....The ability to create such a harmony not comparable with anyone and anything. Its so unique...

I have known this marvelous artist all my life and am STILL moved tremendously by her. Since her recording of the Barcarolle when she was a kid (still haunts me). NOT A SINGLE WRONG NOTE, EVER (only a handful of masters like this). Her artistry spans through the solo works and concerti (her Prok#3 is legendary). She truly found her calling.... she's MADE for this instrument. We're lucky she continues to delight us into her twilight years :)

J'adore Martha Argerich qui est à la fois brillante et profonde dans tout ce qu'elle aborde. Même dans Beethoven, elle trouve le ton juste, le tempo exact, le phrasé parfait ( sonate N° 28 par exemple). Pour moi c'est une artiste exceptionnelle et qui sait rester simple.

I love her!!! Hence why she is called "The Lioness of the Piano"!!! I've never heard this sonata before but I love how she plays it!!!

Ti amo Martha!!!

An amazing musician, and an international treasure. If anything, her playing has become even more elegantly beautiful and sensitive.

She started playing the piano at age four, so after 75 years as a pianist, playing the piano is as natural to her as breathing.

I agree with Argerich being one of the greatest active pianists, and so fortunate to be able to still hear her play. Nothing against the new rising pianists but i grew up listening to Argerich, Richter, Horowitz, Rubinstein, Gould, Pollini etc

La mejor. Sin palabras....

This sonata is one of the most elusive of all masterpieces ever I am privileged to know and admire. Its logic is profoundly cosmic with a philosophy that is gorgeously manifested and expounded to all the truly gifted music lovers of the world. This pianist is a consummate master musician who communicates the power, and scope of the visceral nature of this surpassing score. It has been an awesome favorite since the mid seventies. PWG
