Absolutely awesome!!! All the best, in any field really, have an air of spirituality about them - one wonders if Martha is playing the piano, or is the piano playing Martha? I'm shaking here.
i dont know if everybody realises just how goddamned difficult this piece is. Its awesome watching the great pianists play something most average pianists would never master
im listening to the recording rite now. the con fuoco section is one of the best iver ever heard. fast but in complete control, very even and a wide range of color. truly transcendntal technique
Sometimes, when I watch and hear Martha Argerich, I just can't believe that what she does is possible (see the Liszt B minor Sonata). She is absolutely, absolutely amazing!!!
@1Thompsonmusic Hey, Thompson... it was bad enough when you were just trolling the videos. Now you are attacking the other commenters as well? Can I ask what the hell goes through your head when you are writing these comments? Seriously, why do you do it? I just don't get it.
Question about the music: In the third variation of the fluttery passage theme, at 3:12, I thought the top note was an F-Sharp, but in this it sounds lower. Clarification please?
@caskett7lu - I don't remember which pianists they were. In their recordings, that particular fluttery passage seems to start off in a major key and end in a minor key, if you know what I'm saying.
Words cannot describe my admiration for this girl... wow. Just wow. At 6:49 ish - just before the (cut off) last note - it looks sort of like she is about to hit the wrong keys, and then changes her mind. I found that somewhat confusing/amusing. Can anyone offer a guess as to what happens there?
époustouflante interprétation, d'une densité rare; quel tempérament...au service de l'oeuvre avant tout. Quel jeu pianistique....aisé, sonore, coloré. C'est à cet âge que marta argerich a probablement le mieux joué et a donné toute sa dimension.
Holy s**t!!! I just can't believe that! Those ridiculous octaves and the way her hands flit across the keys in those little butterfly like passages--I've never seen anything like it! Like the other listener's comment--"she's NOT human"!!!!! Incroyable!
@HJKey Ugh lets not go overboard here man, she WAS ONE OF the best pianists, but apparently you havnt watched enough pianists on you-tube to say that, and TRUST me, shes really good, but not the best pianist ever...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Nice looking, but who cares? Every one of her performances is forgetful, boring and depressing. Non of these bores can play Chopin. They can do all the Liszt, Godowsky crap. But they are second rate composers. They don't compose from the heart.
@1Thompsonmusic Hi! I read a lot of your comments. I noticed you have a very high standard for the pianists/musicians you watch..... I was wondering if you could recommend some musicians that you enjoy listening to? thanks. :)
@1Thompsonmusic I sincerely hope you realize how cocky and ludicrous your comment is. Honestly, who exactly do you think you are to be able to call Liszt a "second rate composer" who doesn't "compose from the heart"? I wouldn't call myself a fan of Argerich, but "forgetful", "boring", and "depressing" would be the last words uttered out of any of even her most passionate critics' mouths. Too fast, undisciplined, and boorish maybe, but "forgetful" and "boring"? Get over yourself, buddy.
I was in another window when I heard 6:11. I immediately shouted, "Good God" and flipped back. Argerich truly is a genius when it comes to piano performance. Too bad the ending chords were cut off.
Un-be-leavable =/! I know what I'm seeing/hearing, but my brain is refusing to accept it! She's playing it as if were some 1st grader's silly little recital piece. Barely moves her body, looks bored silly AND YET, the sound those fingers of hers produce is absolutely precise in technique and breath-taking in emotion. I swear, if I never get to hear her live in concert, I'll feel my life will have been deprived of a fundamental joy. Brava Marhta, brava infinity!
The people who say Martha lacked confidence are parroting the wrong sources. I've known Martha for over 40 years and had the pleasure of working with her on a few occasions. She never had a problem with confidence. What Martha hated about concertizing was all the attention, especially from the nosy and boringly repetitive media. She was and is a private person.
El tercer Scherzo, Op. 39, está dedicado al pianista alemán Adolf Gutmann, alumno de Chopin desde los quince años. Según cuenta otro alumno del maestro, Gutmann tenía suficiente fuerza como para romper una mesa con el acorde de la mano izquierda del sexto compás: un acorde que muchos pianistas no pueden tocar. Cuando Moscheles lo visitó en 1840, Frédéric Chopin se sentía muy débil y fue Gutmann quien ejecutó el Op. 39 recién terminado.
It is funny how Martha OWNS certain pieces. such as this piece... Everyones performance is compared to hers, and yet they never really compare. It is the same with other pieces she plays such as Liszt Sonata.. .
@davidbaker03 Yes! Or like the Scarbo, or the finale of Prokofiev's Finale of the 3rd Piano Concert, I mean it's not like she's the only one I also think Pogorelich has some pieces like the 2nd Sonata (Chopin's) well maybe not the last Mov. but you know what i mean...
I can tell that during this competition she was SO nervous. She completely started a phrase over at around 5:35. Whoops! But she definitely deserved to win!
@lacheeky123 Oh wait I think there are several versions of this piece. My Urtext version does not have that phrase as played here. But really, she was so nervous! In her Polonaise she completely screws up the ending of a run. Not that that is the most important thing about playing piano, but she is such a technical beast! I guess I feel surprised when I hear wrong notes from her. But her touch is perfect, truly one of the best pianists ever to live, true winner of this competition
@maestroadam Exactly, she's one the greatest of the 20th century, so why demoralize her into being this pretty little thing, when she's obviously a fucking hell of a lot more than that.
@SolarJakee I don't think we're degrading her, on the contrary, her physical beauty can only serve to enhance our admiration. Don't look too deeply into it!
@SolarJakee Unfortunately this kind of crud surfaces thanks to the unfettered freedom of self-expression this site allows.. It only serves to show us what "them average folk" are all about.

oye creo q tu no sabes lo q estas diciendo, de hecho el arte es muy logico , lo que pasa es q hay q entender el contexto historico y cultural en el q se desarrolla una obra de arte a demas de tratar de decifrar en q penso el autor en este caso chopin para componer este scherzo pero para eso hay q estudiarlo, cada obra de arte cuenta una historia q tiene logica, y tambn tiene mucho sentido si no creeme q no seria arte y no nos afectaria en lo mas minimo
bueno pues hay dice arte no momento cretivo pero bueno si tu lo dices, de todas maneras no andes escribiendo comentarios a la ligera, o al menos especifica lo q dices se presta para malos entendidos.
@juank331 que vale, que si, ahora sigue vistiendote de erudito y se feliz, yo a crear que es lo mio y tu alli, masticando vanidad y pedantería, hay que originar, no destruir, que esa me parece tu intension, se feliz ...Sr. Shiva...
ok tienes razon hay q originar por lo q veo no creas musica y si creas arte me gustaria verlo, y bueno yo solo tengo otro punto de vista a partir de lo q e visto, y no voy a pretender q pienses lo mismo q yo ni tampoco voy a tratar de convencerte de q estas equivocado porq puede q yo lo este, pero bueno saludos
solo creo q todavia no descubres de lo q se trata el arte, o simplemente yo me estoy precipitando a sacar conclusiones solo con una frase q escribiste,
@juank331 , Ahora eres mas constructivo, no por que lo diga yo, creo en los demas, no estamos solos, aportar es mi intención, tambien lo siento por mi actitud, altiva quizas, amo el ARTE y solo soy un aspirante, un saludo
Something tells me you're just trying to provoke an argument.
You said that Argerich played better than Rachmaninov on the video with him performing; you even said that she is a better pianist than anyone around and that she has no competition.
Now you're saying that Richter plays this better than her (when you greatly expressed how Argerich was the best pianist for this).
I wouldn't be surprised if you go on one of Hamelin's videos and wonderfully express how Kastle plays better.
"You said that Argerich played better than Rachmaninov on the video with him performing; you even said that she is a better pianist than anyone around and that she has no competition. "
-I was being sarcastic with those comments. Argerich is an good pianist but Rachmaninoff and Richter are much more than simply pianist-virtuoso.
@Liebromeistal Ricther's production of the sound is a step higher, but I prefer Argerich's (which is unusual for me, but sometimes Ricther does have his flaws) Martha has great energy and has a great feel of the piece.
As far as her career, Martha has always been her own worst enemy. I can't think of another musician of her caliber (perhaps the greatest pianist of the 20th century) who wanted nothing to do with greatness - she once said she loved playing but hated being a pianist. For all of her enormous talent, she was filled with self-doubt, always magnifying every mistake (if only perceived by her) in her mind. She hated publicity and never liked being a soloist - she would much rather play with others.
Why the hell is the last note cut off?!?!?!

oye creo q tu no sabes lo q estas diciendo, de hecho el arte es muy logico , lo que pasa es q hay q entender el contexto historico y cultural en el q se desarrolla una obra de arte a demas de tratar de decifrar en q penso el autor en este caso chopin para componer este scherzo pero para eso hay q estudiarlo, cada obra de arte cuenta una historia q tiene logica, y tambn tiene mucho sentido si no creeme q no seria arte y no nos afectaria en lo mas minimo

ok tienes razon hay q originar por lo q veo no creas musica y si creas arte me gustaria verlo, y bueno yo solo tengo otro punto de vista a partir de lo q e visto, y no voy a pretender q pienses lo mismo q yo ni tampoco voy a tratar de convencerte de q estas equivocado porq puede q yo lo este, pero bueno saludos

solo creo q todavia no descubres de lo q se trata el arte, o simplemente yo me estoy precipitando a sacar conclusiones solo con una frase q escribiste,

@juank331 , Ahora eres mas constructivo, no por que lo diga yo, creo en los demas, no estamos solos, aportar es mi intención, tambien lo siento por mi actitud, altiva quizas, amo el ARTE y solo soy un aspirante, un saludo

just watched this with my mouth dropped to the floor. Now to Horowitz's Chopin Balade.
I thank God for giving me the opportunity to enjoy this music to the deepest point of my soul.
Wow. If i ever meet her, i can only think of throwing myself around her to thank her for the enrichment she's given me for free.
This is Life!!!!!!!!!!!

Richter plays this better, as he does in everything

Something tells me you're just trying to provoke an argument.
You said that Argerich played better than Rachmaninov on the video with him performing; you even said that she is a better pianist than anyone around and that she has no competition.
Now you're saying that Richter plays this better than her (when you greatly expressed how Argerich was the best pianist for this).
I wouldn't be surprised if you go on one of Hamelin's videos and wonderfully express how Kastle plays better.

"You said that Argerich played better than Rachmaninov on the video with him performing; you even said that she is a better pianist than anyone around and that she has no competition. "
-I was being sarcastic with those comments. Argerich is an good pianist but Rachmaninoff and Richter are much more than simply pianist-virtuoso.

@Liebromeistal Ricther's production of the sound is a step higher, but I prefer Argerich's (which is unusual for me, but sometimes Ricther does have his flaws) Martha has great energy and has a great feel of the piece.

Hey, Martha, you can come play this at my house anytime you like. I have a Kawai, but it never gets a workout like this.

She looks like Demi Moore. I wish I had her talent. Martha's, that is.

That's putting it mildly... and there is no word in the English language for Martha's talent.

As far as her career, Martha has always been her own worst enemy. I can't think of another musician of her caliber (perhaps the greatest pianist of the 20th century) who wanted nothing to do with greatness - she once said she loved playing but hated being a pianist. For all of her enormous talent, she was filled with self-doubt, always magnifying every mistake (if only perceived by her) in her mind. She hated publicity and never liked being a soloist - she would much rather play with others.
