goddess of piano = martha

Interesting that she didnt keep this in her rep for long.It's such a popular piece. My teacher used to say it was for those who dont know. I disagree . Grieg brings out the most glorious natural sounding music ever. Now if we could get Martha to do the Berio double .Can u imagine her in really angry N O W music. Her Bartok, Ginastera, Prokofiev Lutoslawsky shows enough .

As usual for Argerich, she always has the FASTEST possible rendintion of any piece.

[lospazio]

@jjg7 Yes. Likewise, as usual for Arrau, he always has the SLOWEST possible rendition of any piece. It's quite a good thing that all artists are different.

This is a fantastic performance.

It's a shame video of this performance doesn't exist: I've heard that at 8:56 she started to levitate above the piano, firing laser beams out of her eyes.

@nancylam82 I heard a similar story, nancylam82. I think she destroyed the video camera in the process.
