Chopin, Introduction and Polonaise Brillante, Op. 3 (Martha Argerich & Gautier Capuçon)

[GEBEDEKRAAINEM]

Superbe duo, avec beaucoup d'écoute.

[assindiastignani]

I know I'm going to get some terribly incensed letters for this,but can anyone please explain to me what this admittedly nice-looking, but by no means exceptionally talented cellist is doing on the same stage with Martha Argerich (who, I think, is stunning here.) Is he a new star of some recording company?

[cullenscongregateXD]

Dibs on the page turner.

[purplekitteh]

I dream to see Martha play live some day :)

[jjp009]

Man, I don't care how old or gray Maestro Argerich gets, that is one beautiful, sexy woman! I think it's the wild hair all over the place that does it for me...oh yeah, that and she's a world-class pianist!

[macacopequenolouco]

so, is this not one of the hottest things you've ever seen?... anywhere?... the chemistry is just... i'm gonna stop.

[DBALDONFILHO]

Gautier et Martha

l'interprétation brillante de Chopin! Thrill entendre.

Les deux sont fantastiques ensemble, et quand bien plus encore! Félicitations à deux grands musiciens! Darcy Baldon

Thrill à entendre!

[qhubbles]

Can you imagine this piece with Martha and Rostropovich?

wow!

[giraffecello]

@qhubbles there's a video with Marta Argerich and Rostropovich on Youtube

[TheTradge]

I prefer Gendron's arrangement, utterly utterly crazy =P

[chad410]

the piano part is very Martha

[schubertissima]

großartig!

[doctorkozi]

Rispetto alla Argerich, Volodos è oggettivamente più "bravo" nel senso vero e proprio del termine, ma io amo profondamente il tocco di questa pianista. È come von Karajan: è evidente che è sempre il migliore e di riferimento in ogni cosa che ha diretto, ma Abbado ed il suo modo morbido ed estremamente delicato di affrontare qualunque brano mi piacciono di più. Comunque, basta riuscire a distinguere la tecnica dal gusto personale.

[fredericfranc]

The piece is notable for the disparity of the challenge thrown at either player. The piano part is fiendish, no problem for her; the cello part was meant,, I think, for a Prince Radziwill, whose relative, many years later, married Jackie's sister. But there is in existence an augmented cello version too. There is also an entirely piano solo varsion, which is a Chopin original too. So you can do it 3 ways.

[henrique1944]

Belissimo Concerto. O entusiasmode Argerich não ofuscou a serenidade do jovem Capuçon.

[GavinCannon]

Martha as usual was brilliant! but the cellist was slightly sloppy! I am a cellist and have spent many years studying this piece and Chopin Cello sonata. so i must give my honest opinion.

[chuggos]

sie ist großartig, einzigartig, aber er schwächelt in Ton und Musikaliät, kann nicht mit gleichem Farbenreichtum mithalten.

[braunmuehl]

Das könnte auch an der Aufnahmetechnik liegen.

Außerdem wäre es im Sinne der Balance besser gewesen, den Flügen nur halb zu öffnen.

[principecalaf]

Marta e' grandiosa ma la reincarnazione di Liszt credo sia Volodos!

[larchmontmark]

So.........some peeps gave this less than 5 stars?? :shrug: :dunno:

[billyguns2]

This is one of the greatest musical experiences I know! Both artists are superb and are obviously having the time of their lives; it just doesn't get better than this.

[plappolog]

Marta ...Marta...Marta...

[billyguns2]

Gautier...Gautier...Gautier...­

[andrepedico1]

MAGNIFICENT!!!

[argerich68]

IO amo Martha veramente!!!! 5*****

[dottorg77]

@argerich68 splendida

[vstasov]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[giuseppedolce]

Liszt

[argerich68]

Forse Martha potrebbe essere la reincarnazione di Liszt......io amo entrambi infinitamente!!!!

[andreamarchis]

C'è da precisare ke Martha è bella è Liszt era 1 cesso vivente , xò restano tutte e 2 dei geni...

[LittleArgerich]

ahahahahahahah Martha da giovane era bellissima e concordo *_* ma si dice che Liszt fosse talmente affascianante e bello che le dame contesse ecc svenissero a ogni suo concerto :D

[giuseppedolce]

Non trovate che la Argerich somigli sempre di più al vecchio Listz?

[3cplantin]

Written when Chopin was a teenager! Great performance -- what a pair. Thanks again, Kimo.

[lyghdha]

Wonderful Martha! The Chopin concerto Op.11 next?

[musicxg]

It is so beautiful ! They are such great musicians who usually live in their own world. I want to join them too. Love it.
