[MadamDoolally]

a very robotic orchesttation... perfect for asians play it.....

[BJWoodcock]

too impulsive, changeable. If this is Argerich at her best i'm not impressed.

[FluidicVibraphonic]

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...

[M000tube]

a concert piano's hands are so precise, fluid, fast and elegant that it's like a humming bird.

[meshy1998]

bravo!!!!!!

[marianomanto]

First part: 600k views,

Second part: 200k

This one is the most beautyful one and has only 129k views.

Why?

[verrru]

heavenly

[TheGreatRichter]

pity about the interference on this part

[musicy88]

i love her and this playing. but here she looks unusually nervous..

[wsdy009]

so beatiful！！！！

[iamkatyxd]

wish I get the opportunity to play a concerto beautiful like this..*sigh*

[Jeenias]

The last note...................

[SPACETIMEBEAUTY]

Brava!! Absolutely brilliant !

[bither26]

this is my favorite, the second movement Romance Larghetto <3

[Bret6464]

@bither26 Yes, the most beautiful and the hardest to connect to the audience at the emotional level the way she does. Immensely expressive and lyrical performance. With Martha it is all artistry and emotion. For me on the Chopin pc1 it's Gilels, Weissenberg and Martha :-))

[renumeratedfrog]

LOL, I love how people take the opportunity at the beginning to clear their throats and nasal passages.

[trendyyy]

see Dinu Lipatti s interpretation

[ShadowWolfey]

im tearing up :( its so beautiful! bravo

[Rogerdecoverly]

Takes me back all of 70 years and fills my heart with peace

Martha renders this so beautifully.

[AlcoholLevel]

cough cough cough

[chiehwenwang]

Master Argerich shoule have merged herself deeper into Chopin's music, as her looks were not intoxicated enough.

[bratsheMag]

Até fiquei arrepiada! Maravilhoso...

[ConchinhaMetalica]

@bratsheMag Yes! Português! ;)

[Kaggypants]

Apart from that, 2:31...evil eye. I would not want to be the person she was glaring at. lol

Que belleza de musica....

[mmoynan]

I think its amazing how much joy she obviously gets from playing piano. Talk about an enduring passion; to be able to be a world-class pianist, and still gain small little bits of joy from playing. How phenomenal.

[jorgeoscar1000]

Argentina hermosa y genia !!!!!!

[Architecture4PFC]

que decir....????? Nada..que lo diga ella y su piano!

[RachPhantom40]

Why always has someone to cough in the beggining of a piece?

[Kaggypants]

@RachPhantom40 This is not the beginning. =) The conductor, pianist, and orchestra all take a little bit between movements to prepare which also gives the audience time to perform natural body functions that they might have been holding onto during the performance.

Much better to have a cough in-between than right in a crucial soft section don't you think?

[RachPhantom40]

@Kaggypants Thanks for telling me! I didn't think it that way.

[SoocP1]

Beautiful interpretation :)

[animumaurarium]

In my opinion this 2. mvt. is among the greatest slow movements in the repertoire, such as the 2nd mvt of Beethoven's 5th (piano concerto).

[Damasaori]

esplendida y maravillosa, no se puede decir mas ke la emocion ke siento al escucharla..........

[jayadsilva67]

She does not even come close to Lang Lang. He is the best for Chopin.

[tavo1239]

conciertos para piano y orquesta como los de Rachmaninof, especialemnte el 3, el de Tchaikovsky, los de Mozart o Beethoven sin dudas son genialidades únicas que materializan la belleza y el arte en su mayor expresión, pero Chopin, por lo menos para el piano, es mi favorito, su etendimiento de la música es único y nadie ha logrado, como él, elevar a esos niveles de emotividad y romanticismo la música clásica... para mi, el mayor compositor y pianista de todos los tiempos...

[Fredegunda7]

Beautiful,thank you Martha.

[HAlghamdi]

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.

[honghongbcc]

too good to be true !

love you and thanks Martha.

[cheongyoonghung]

she is so cute!!

what amazing old lady!

[hannos81]

Bravissima!!!

[lsde520]

4:55  Agitato , very impressive,heartbreaking

[badkid73]

Not as good as her recording with Abbado and the LSO, but then again, this is LIVE. Absolutely gorgeous muscianship.

[1lemonmint]

listen how tenderly and softly she plays perhaps the most beautiful part of the concerto - 7:55 to the end.....technically wise, this part isn't so hard to play however her greatness is how she lets her emotions take over and guide her through (you can see it on her face....)

[fabio0077]

@1lemonmint I TOTALLY AGREE!!!

[Voime09]

@1lemonmint She plays with her heart and soul!! it is magnificent

[semicolin]

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.

[floydrharper]

Heartbreakingly beautiful

[lionedizampa]

simply best performance for my ear, heard dozens of it, but this..... glorry

[Nganguen]

...Romance&Virtuosity Vs Virtuosity&Romance...Awesome!

[Agwii]

Como siempre Martha me sorprende, me fascina. Su fraseo, su sonido, su ritmo. Música avasallante: música y más música. Qué se puede decir? Ahí está todo.

[tanjavioline]

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...

[cantabile03]

"driving with a bycycle with square wheels instead of round ones"

All Chopin is there, isn't he? Being straight and sinuous at the same time, free within bounds, seing melancholy in joy and hope beyond that - being.

I love the way she plays it. Every note has a weight and a purpose.

Reminds me of Musset : "J'ai souffert souvent, je me suis trompé quelquefois, mais j'ai aimé. C'est moi qui ai vécu, et non pas un être factice créé par mon orgueil et mon ennui."

[JJuny7]

I love she's chopin...

[Freddran]

Did u mean her? :)

[perumnx]

The essence of beauty.

[marliben]

Martha plays like a man in that you never listen to hear and think "oh, too wimpy - must be a woman". Of course, she also has tenderness like a woman. That's why I enjoy her playing.

[FreddysHamster]

Watch RH 3rd and 4th finger trill at 4:21!!! Absolutely amzing!!!!

[callenishss]

dude if u think thats amazing watch argerich heroique polonaise the stream of notes in the very first measure ....how that fuck does one accomplish smoothness like that...have u ever tried playing that little motive....

[XINEOHP20]

Very nice. Wonderful. Inspirational play the piano. Entranced.

[argerich68]

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

[alex4dh]

this got to be the most stupid comment I ever read about Chopin

[skryabyn]

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)

[alex4dh]

it seems to me you do not know much about Chopin, do you?

[skryabyn]

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.

[alex4dh]

OK, deal. Thank you for this exchange.

[mxdblessing]

i'm feminine in build, and i suck at chopin.

[jhmusician]

mxdblessing

never blame ur physique

you have t worwith what yu've got

plus, it doesn't matter ppl with "feminine"build have much potenial to play chopin wel.

keep trying!

[mxdblessing]

jhmusician, i don't bemoan my physique. it was in response to crazymofo's comment that chopin's physique had anything to do with the music he wrote. i was just saying that i don't feel my build affords me any natural advantage, not that it's a disadvantage. maybe for stravinsky or prokofiev bigger hands might be an advantage, or for mozart smaller hands, but other than that, there's no difference. gieseking's fingers were as thick as my wrists and he played debussy ethereally.

[capricorniosur]

Absolutamente maravillosa, gracias Martha!

[cgaldoj]

Relaxing nad impresive. Congratulations !!

[gygese]

WONDERFUL martha
