Martha Argerich plays Prokofiev Piano Concerto no. 3 1st mvt

[Stravinsky91]

5:02 - 5:40 is SO GOOD!! Beautiful!!

[TRPDDB]

Super, of course. Although I prefer Natalia Trull's performance, I love the fire that Ms Argerich brings to the piece and her dynamics are truly goosepimply.

Classical music = high IQ

Hard rock = high IQ

Jazzrock = high IQ

Pop / rock = medium IQ

Country = medium IQ

R/B = medium IQ

Rap/Hip Hop = low IQ

Reggea = very low IQ

[masked1one]

@rkj1963 How ignorant and for lack of a better word, stupid.

[Pianist46]

@rkj1963 In my opinion, reggae would definitely require a higher IQ than hard rock and rap. Jazz requires the second highest, after classical of course.

And, Argerich is the QUEEN of this concerto! Just sayin'.

[FatUglyNoLifeNerd]

@rkj1963 Judging intellect based on music preference and putting out your list for the world to see, presumably seeking approbation: what IQ?

[adrenalinerush45]

4:20

so sad and melancholy....

[vonde113]

The best performance there is:

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra conducted by Daniele Gatti

Yuja Wang, piano

Sergei Prokofjev: Pianoconcert nr.3 op.26

Concertgebouw Amsterdam



[surirach]

Amazing pianist!

[Nicksvoiceinthewild]

WE sympathize with some crime, is maybe noble.?

Sped up, thought, -- just artistic.

[Nicksvoiceinthewild]

WE sympathize with some crime, is maybe noble.?

[Nicksvoiceinthewild]

Very noble, as in, not gangster, like, but not - is like, we do the criminal thing, after the criminals happen --- not the criminals -- we hate the crime ---

no one should have to do that -- the thing we do is still kind of evil...

it's should never happen, in a happy good world

is not evil exactly, but kind of -- maybe evil but is retribution

at evil retribution, not necessary, no one have to do evil thing

is not right, but --- kind of right related, like right, sort of.

maybe righteous?

[briebriepg]

No passion but still with wonderful articulation skills!! Same in the b flat minor scherzo which I played (Brielle Perez) look me up. Martha argerich played the b section with no passion but it was really fast! The question of the day:

Martha argerich may have fast fingers and great articulation but does she have the passion to play slow pieces or sections?

Answer in ur comments,type: (yes briebrie) if u agree with me or (no briebrie) if u don't agree.

Otherwise Martha argerich is awesome!!!

[davidmirth]

@briebriepg (no briebrie)... For playing this concerto, Argerich has recieved a Grammy Award, which is in my opinion just one of the prooves that she does give her soul into. I enjoy her prokofiev, but maybe some of her later recordings than this one...

[OrangeSodaKing]

@briebriepg I don't agree... I think she has some of the greatest passion and fire in her playing, and when she plays slowly, it's very deep and cohesive.

[briebriepg]

I don't feel the passion in the slow parts but very well articulation!!!

[briebriepg]

I like it but sometimes faster isn't the answer! But well done just a little too fat!! :)

[AlexanderVAL89]

BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!!

[piax00]

beautiful

[piano932]

sounds like star trek

[Seanze329]

@piano932 Star Trek sounds like this you mean.

[rissmuso]

Brilliance

[benitoinfante]

This woman is a very good pianist!

[rissmuso]

@benitoinfante what an understatement!

[jafigueroa41]

¡ Martha !

[crabbywabbysu]

If only I could play it this fast, this musical, and this inspiring...

[hbmp88]

prokofiev is one of a kind. i highly doubt in all history anybody will be able to captivate emotions in the wonderful way he does... he will be remembered forever

[MrOskarthebest]

2:12 weird spanish dance

[Memale2009]

Ich verehre Martha Argerich seit Jahrzehnten, weil sie eine Künstlerin ist, die ihre Visionen verwirklich hat. Dieses ist nur eins von unzähligen fantastischen Beispielen! Ich bedaure, dass ich sie nie life gesehen habe. Wer eine Vorankündigung ihres bevorstehenden Auftritts findet, der möge mich bitte umgehend benachrichtigen. Das meine ich ernst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pianogirl051]

this is such an amazing piece :3

[elgar34]

It will never be played better. Period.

[OrangeSodaKing]

@elgar34 This is possibly my favorite piece that she plays.

[elgar34]

@OrangeSodaKing off Lent for a moment? Cheers, mate!

[OrangeSodaKing]

@elgar34 Hehe, I decided to make it only FB and PW. :) Those are my biggest time-wasters. I can still get stuff done with music in the background.

[BarbaraPloyer333]

Martha's the Queen of the Piano. Period.

(*comically*)

ALL HAIL MARTHA (AND PROKOFIEV)!

[gnolti]

One of the most exciting and exhilarating piano concertos EVER, especially in Martha's hands.

[yohbyo]

1:27- 2:00 is awesome ^_^

[rissmuso]

@yohbyo or you could just say the whole thing is awesome :)

[airad2]

4:18 just breaks my heart.

[Memale2009]

@airad2 Yes, it breaks my heart too.

[thelittleliszt]

PERFECT!!

[ramsgate111135]

She is fantastic but now there is finally competition. Try the Peter Katin version, which is not only a superb performance but is a CD with CNSTR (certified natural sound technique recording) Just enter Peter Katin

Geoffrey

[curlysue27]

Oh Lordy - how flipping electrifying.

She was totally brilliant.

This is God-music.

[evanscarrick]

Fabulous performance of a very difficult work - have tried hard to myself ot better this performance and still have a bit opf work to do - Я обожаю prokofiev' нот s всегда

[bobproduction1]

wow j'ai ca a joué... ca va etre vrm intense

[airad2]

This is the definitive recording of this piece.

[neuste]

This is a studio recording, so there is of course no video. Released on Deutsche Gramophon, together with recordings of Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit and Piano Concerto in G major.

Love this recording though. The concerto matches Argerich's unruliness well.

[detectivesnoopdog]

where's the video though?

[IloveAlexisBledel689]

Wonderful performance! I love this movement, great ending.

[phoxee]

I'm hearing this whole concerto for the first time ever. I'm so glad it's Argerich. I don't think anyone else could play it this well......still listening.....such incredible sound. Thrilling!

[ashleyohtori]

I wish I could play it this well.

[violintviolinist]

wow. i'm seriously the first one to comment on this? that was amazing!
