I adore this woman! Magnificent! There are actually no words for this.

I just love that grey hair and the way she walks on stage queen of the piano, age no problem! 💓

Argerich has gone through many trials in her life but she has overcome them as one can hear in this matchless performance,just appreciate the phrasing and how she puts heart and soul into the music. All the superlatives about Ms Argerich fail to adequately describe her amazing gifts. She is in the 'legendary' class of pianists with Rubenstein,Ashkenasy,Perahia.Kissin and perhaps a few more of the last 50 years.

I think all the pianists you listed are flawed they are recognizable talents yes but their weaknesses are often as big as their strengths. I know they were all recorded in the legendary pianists of the XXth century CD series last century but still. Argerich is unique too and she has her way of being very idiosynchratic. Overal i think her brewing volcano temperament does not match this concerto well. It sounds like an irritated person that goes through bouts of quietness between war. Her touch is very delicate but somehow not equal. Her forte are strong stronger than most men (that's kind of a compliment). She is not my kind of artist you have guessed. Somehow her delicate phrasing is unmusical. @8:32 is an example of that. She plays with sounds not music. She takes huge liberties with the tempo shortening some notes making constant micro rubatos that take the sap out of the music.

gorgeous artistry. unbelievable. and no, nobody would guess she's 71 here....

one of the best concertos played by one of the best maestros ever lived in earth. I adore her so much

In each one of the great soloists we can appreciate different traits and reliefs of these masterworks, and this is the most important thing, instead to quarrel about who is "the best". But Martha offers a calm, irony, serenity and joy when she plays, that contrasts very much with the effort and the anguish showed by most of the other musicians.

Because Martha technical skills allow her to focus exclusively on the music - she doesn’t need to put together a performance or a show - her music speaks and her huge mastery allows her to play and enjoy the piece rather than obsessing with the search of perfection like some young pianists do- the conclusion is that many pianists sound like robots Martha never does😀

I have always been fascinated by the drive in her music, the richness of her sound and the passion.

Good Lord,How is it she still plays so wonderfully ? Obviously, Martha Argerich does not grow old like the rest of us. How lucky we are !

I am often very impressed and touched by the performances of this piece by the younger generation. And they deserve it. But this is complete mastery, not only by Martha but also with the sensitive and delicate conducting from Pappano and the orchestra. There is poetry in every phrase, delicacy and power. But it's played with such union that it feels like a chamber piece. Bravo, Antonio, brava Martha.

Sure. I listened her playing Bartok third concerto Paris last autumn and was very impressed. However I was never convinced by her way to play Bach. Here, her mobility ideal for romantic music become nervousness, and I prefer Tatyana Nikolaievna and Alicia de la Rocha, whose I permit to suggest you A minor English suite. Bests.

+Hospitality61 Many thanks for your valuable comments. I will take these recommendations into account. Bach is really a fascinating composer, no less so as his music seems to be a favorite of late contemporary composers perhaps even more than early- and mid-20th century composers. All the best.

Absolutely: Bach made synthesis of music preceding him, and successors couldn't make other than to use technique he built. Stravinsky every morning studied a Bach choral and indeed second Vienna School developed twelve sounds technique with polyphony art of Bach. But you know it of course. Bach seems to me the prototype of modern artist, who as Noe build an arch in which he put all which exists to lead that to an another country. So does Balzac for the novel. Modern artist looks for a way using code that contemporary can understand but subverting it to express his subjectivity and new code. I developed this idea about french writer Giono and can give you my paper (in french if you are interested). Bests.

You're absolutely correct. Please accept my apologies and thanks for posting the performance. Martha, even on an off-day, remains one of the greatest pianists of our time.

Su madre nació a pocos kilometros de donde vivo. La ví y escuché en vivo junto a la Orquesta Sinfónica de Paraná en tres oportunidades. Ese piano NUNCA habrá de sonar como esa noche en que nos tuvo a todos conteniendo la respiración hasta la última nota. Fué absolutamente trascendental. Una experiencia espiritual colectiva que nunca olvidaré. Amor y devoción por siempre Martha! Salud !

My heart 💓 melts at 27:41. I replay that 20 sec segment over and over and over.... Thank you, Schumann, for writing this. Thank you, Argerich, for bringing this music to life.

One of my favourite concerti, and played with such grace. Every line was oozing poetry.

Happy Birthday, Martha! Thank for your performances.... All my students love you.

I actually think there is a tenderness Martha brings to Schumann in her more mature years. I love it. Thank you for posting.

A very beautiful performance of on of my favourite piano concertos! Excellent passion and emotion, she really nailed it!

I just discovered Martha Argerich today while researching an Angela Carter story. Odd the things we love open us up to even more beauty, if we only pay attention. I see that there isn't much live footage of her and I think this is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for posting. Sincerely.

Martha Argerich, para mí es la MÁS GRANDE PIANISTA que ha existido en el planeta, ella con su TÉCNICA EXQUISITA, su APASIONAMIENTO, sus OCTAVAS etc. etc. es la MEJOR, pero lo que la hace la MEJOR entre las MEJORES es su SENCILLEZ, su NATURALIDAD xq ella es el PIANO EJECUTADO con MAESTRÍA, ella ENCARNA a la MÚSICA (como dijo PAPPANO) y así lo entrega en cada puesta. Traspasa la pantalla y llega a cada poro de nuestra sensibilidad CONMOVIENDOOO !!!

Martha Argerich una gran maestra y pianista exelente a quien admiro mucho. Por mucho éxitos 👏👏👏

The movement 1 cadenza is breathtakingly magical. Surprised no one seems to be commenting on her playing there!

Fantastic conductor!!! he gave her so much space and with her, to tell, to experience, it sounds like an opera.

Grande Marta Argerich !!!!!

The one thing I notice about her are her hands. She has a bit of nail but not so long that it obviously doesn't inhibit her playing and her hands are the most beautiful hands I've seen on a pianist. Quite frankly her hands are the most beautiful hands I've ever seen. Period. Then to watch her flow flawlessly over the 88 keys is a sight beholden to angels.

Love this performance! I don't think that it is weak like others are saying...very lyrical and emotional.

1. Allegro affettuoso - 0:21 2. Intermezzo - 15:20 3. Allegro vivace - 21:03

A veces siento que uno tiende a idolatrar un compositor o un ejecutante como en este caso Schumann y Argerich, pero la pregunta a responderse es..........¿y porqué no?!!!!! Si realmente la pieza es E NOR ME!!!! y la ejecutante E NOR ME ..... con una direccción sensible y firme como la de Pappano es imposible que no resulte en una obra maestra..... Lo de Argerich no me sorprende, la sigo desde siempre y es una de mis favoritas junto con Richter....pero cada día y a cada paso encuentro más y más obras que confirman mi tesis.....creo que es la más grande pianista viva en este momento............y quizá de la historia.

¡Qué belleza! Lo escucho una vez, y otra y otra...y siempre una emoción intensa. Esto sólo es posible cuando los intérpretes protagonistas son capaces de producir esta especie de magia con la que el tiempo y el espacio desaparecen. Sólo hay sonidos y la sensación de navegar arropado entre ellos por lugares desconocidos. Soy un cursi, sí.

Amo a esta mujer perdidamente!

Apparently Schumann is her favorite composer which explains this breathtaking performance.

Truly excellent interpretation!

Note that all of the musicians except Martha have sheet music. She seems to have the capability to memorize the most complicated pieces. Truly amazing.

There is something special in her shuman concerto compared to others. Though I also like her mastery in russian romantic music, which is her trademark, this is just ethereal in everything.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!Really Astonishing!!!!!!!!!!!Much better than Argerich's different performance with riccardo chaily which depressed me.This performance is the Legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Esta es una de las mejores versiones dearta es una felicidad escucharla

she has an affinity for Schumann, more so than, say, Chopin or Beethoven. it's hard to pull off this concerto without getting overly sentimental or melodramatic. and it's a difficult piece. she does it with ease, yet achieves electrifying momentum. she may speak mostly French, but her blood is definitely Latina! what a temperament. she learned how to hone that temperament, making her better as she she grew older. her articulation and phrasing also improved over time. the young Martha was too impulsive, often with muddy articulation. this one transcended. most pianists play slower as they get older and compensate by adding affectation, exaggerations, or eccentricities to their playing (e.g., Claudio Arrau, Horowitz). not Martha. brava!
