Martha Argerich plays Ravel Concerto in G 1st mvt.

[fenley69]

Did Ravel give Gershwin a kick back?

[Maralegar2009]

gershwin and ravel meet each other .......

martha you will be my dream girl for all time ....

Claudio abbado , thanks so much too

[Watchenlisten]

From 2:50 I'm so reminded by Gershwin, yet I cannot work out from where exactly ... I'm aware of their being contemporaries etc. but haven't read yet anything about direct musical ideas exchanged between the two in their work. Could anyone help me here please? Thanks, cheers :)

[Maralegar2009]

@Watchenlisten Ravel says gershwin" to improve his own style "and not borrow him to make bad ravel music , but wonderful gershwin".....

I won my college concerto competition with this piece. I didn't like it too much back then because of the jazz insinuations, but boy, I was just young and dumb. When I listened to my recording I was awed at how the music actually comes across to the listener! Of course, Argerich performs on another level from most of us :-) This piece of music is awesome and I only wish I could go back and do it all over again!!

Martha Argerich e Claudio Abbado, qui insuperabili!

[flic71]

questa è la + bella versione del concerto in sol che abbia mai suonato Martha! Primo tempo fantastico!

[annamagdalena2]

[Walkirya82]

[flic71]

credo di amarla alla follia anch'io,

da quando l'ho vista e sentita dal vivo a firenze (pochi mesi fa)

[KearneyPiano]

i love that snap at the start :L

[miliona1re]

I have this concert with Michelangeli and Zimerman.They are sovranatural......

[phoxee]

This was recorded in 1967. She was 26.

[jannokas85]

But this sounds exactly like the 1985 version...

[leoprisco]

You must be deaf.

[AdmiralSnider]

Michelangeli`s performance is much better to my mind. Much more delicate. Love Martha though.

[phoxee]

She makes the piano sound like a whole orchestra as she paints a beautiful picture in tones. What an artist! What a composition!

[TJFNYC212]

well I am thrilled to report that Martha is scheduled to perform the Ravel on her USA tour in 2008-2009

[tsukiyo777]

I was all set on going to one of her concerts to see her perform this live! And then the tickets sold out and now there are only $100 tickets, which I can't afford... ;__;

[poepper]

well for me tickets are worth 100$ because martha argerich is one of today's last really great pianist.

[hervepaulmichel]

A masterpiece, a great pianist. Thank you !

[TJFNYC212]
