Martha Argerich and Mischa Maisky in Zagreb, 2008

Shut the hell up, I want to hear them play!

She is Argentinian of Jewish background.

She is catholic...

I am just curious. Is Martha Argerich of Croatian or Catalan descent? Does anybody know? I believe her former husband, Stephen Kovacevich, is half-Croatian. My old piano teacher used to say (God rest her soul), "you can't divorce yourself from your background". Certainly they seem the opposite of each other in temperament, divorced or not.

you're welcome.

it was a great concert. you know - I met her!

[dvavuka]

the question was - what is good and what is bad about playing the piano? Martha: "what is good? I better know what is bad. I dont have always the instrument with myself and sometimes that is a problem, but it brings suprises "(when you play on the other piano)." But, well, what can I tell you, that is a difficult question."

that interview was very funny...

I agree please translate what Argerich saying, please!

[fabgourmet]

Could somebody translate at least the part where Argerich is interviewed? You'd be really doing a great service to the YouTube/Argerich community if you would be so kind...
