Spellbinding - the piano cries

[ebnykhda]

I never stop loving the musicianship of this encredible woman! This is by far one of the must beautfiully played Nocturne I have heard

[andoria67]

so gefühlvoll gespielt...very beautiful...

[chiefci]

Tearedrops comes from my eyes. Perfect.

[bourdour]

What a lovely tone she used for this piece!

[mytownsanbon]

this is heaven

[fabio0077]

2:26.... this is the ART OF MUSIC...

[sergeflousier]

The most amazing thing with this piece, is that it can played by a robot machine (see the music anmation machine for ex) or by an amazingly sensitive pianist such as Martha, and both version are beautiful, possessing, dreamlike.

[ululano]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH CHOPIN !!!!!!

[AdryKa00]

really, really wonderful!

[DodgerReid]

Chopin's Nocturne Op. 27 are my favourite classical pieces ever - both of them are so brilliantly awesome.

[CandyGirl7401]

This piece always takes my breath away....it flows through my heart and soul. Truly beautiful.....

[luisdatreta1994]

Very interesting interpretation : Where you expect the pianist to play forte and gradually faster, Martha holds it back, very softly, and does the opposite when you expect a diminuendo and ritenuto ! Beautifully done !

Enjoyed it very much, thank you for uploading =)

[MrLacidaremlamano]

i've never heard it so well played

[INA101a]

It's a dream!

[318825768]

Beautiful! I will meet Martha Agerich in June at Piano Festival in Italy.

[Toscavsky]

Such a great perfomance

[diaamd]

Meditative.

[Olivethemonkey]

Martha can honestly do no wrong, however, I think she plays some parts a little too fast. Otherwise, it's beautiful.

[BNM321zxy]

this piece reminds me of diamonds

[THEtinchyDANCE]

@BNM321zxy i was going to say the same thing... :))))

[leonboelmann]

ogni volta  ci stupisce......

grade Martha Argerich..

[leomulder]

Which label published it? From where is it?

[cbodien]

This is my favorite playing of this piece.

[cbodien]

YES!! GO MARTHA GO!!!

[AzureBluee]

Absolutely mesmerising - Argerich is amazing!

[BarbaraPloyer333]

It's a gem!

[callenishss]

she played this at 31 years old..

[cadinho36]

o melhor noturno de chopin

[signorinakitty]

questo è il mio notturno preferito!

[jumala1960]

wonderful!

[callenishss]

agreed

[oldiesareus]

MYSTICAL...***********

[lovesGenet]

Where did they find her in this and the Jardinssous la pluie ? Is there a broadcast of her inBeethovenAmaj op.101.She used to programme it .I would love to hear her in that.

[shevansilva]

@lovesGenet It is most definitely here on youtube. Search with the keywords and it should come up.

[poetrycherie]

Mesmerizing performance!

[suniforlife]

Admirable. I cannot listen enough of this piece

[Barnaldomort]

beautiful

[joekkkk7]

Dream Like...

[paulostroff99]

One of if not the greatest female pianists of the last more than 50 years. Her Rach 3 concerto may be the best ever recorded. This is superb playing as well as tone. Brava! TY.

[Miciox87]

yr comment is correct and i personally think important the fact of being pupil of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Ref this interpretation I perceive it closer to Baremboim's so intimate and warm and so far away from Pollini's.

I knoww...not elegant to make comprisons, but sometimes let put the finger in! Regards

[paulostroff99]

Miciox87-IMHO Michelangeli was one of the greatest pianists that ever lived. I believe Martha Argarich to be one of the greatest living pianist

Have a nice week-end.

[TempterMan]

Dazzling

[ForeverIsis]

Fantastico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reinedparis]

Oh dear ~ I'm floating.

[hashirimedes]

I don't like Argerich so much.

But this is so good.

[capetond]

what a bearutiull sound she has

[rach3master]

Gorgeous tone. A little too much rubato for my taste, but still astounding nevertheless!

[fabio0077]

Perfect. No words to describe this version.

[swordyboyakon]

perfect?

[fabio0077]

You do NOT understand what means "perfect"?

[swordyboyakon]

lol i actually laughed when i was reading your reply. and no, what i meant is in response to your earlier statement, perfect would be a word to describe this version.

[fabio0077]

no, it would not be...IT IS.

[arcanejazz]

LOL what? the whole back and forth with you guys is hilarious. i think someone here doesnt speak english as their native language or something XDDD

[fabio0077]

what's wrong in: "Perfect. No words to describe this version."?

[arcanejazz]

Dude forget it, lmao. There was just a miscommunication, thats all. And it was funny.

[fabio0077]

Absolutely!!.. :-)

[MrPianoLover1]

@fabio0077 you just described it.

[fabio0077]

@MrPianoLover1 thanks my dear!... ART in its very close sense...

[vivian2nana]

Simply beautiful! Thanks for posting!

[stringendo]

Exotic aurora! May I have those pictures?

[chad410]

she finds the paltform lonely i think when she plays solo s. but she is not alon.

[rigel48]

Her sound is gorgeous, and the depth and passion she brings to this nocturne besides the moving delicacy of her touch has very few competitors. This is very great Chopin !

[rigel48]

She plays this nocturne very beautifully.

[arthurcrescendo]

I guess he's one of Mrs. argerich's friends or family. She probably wants him to pulish her unknown pieces.

[BachFong11]

No effing way...Again, I had no idea she plays this piece, but then again, I'm sure she's played most of the repertoire. You are the best thing that's happened to youtube.
