Martha Argerich - Ravel Piano Concerto Mov 2

[iamthepickintheice]

*Dies a fucking million times*

[fonogafono]

el movimiento que más me gusta de este concierto, es tan pero tan. No se, algo

[YYZAP1]

herdude, it is offensive to compare Martha with Helen Grimaud.

Martha will always be remembered and Grimaud is just a flash in the pan, really

[lisilisin]

Brava, Marta!! in my opinion, another great version is the one played by Alicia de Larrocha with the Montreal Symphony and Charles Dutoit conducting. You can faind it in Youtube. Both, Arguerich and de Larrocha, 2 of the best pianists ever!

[snapperv]

Ravel + Martha= super awesome. This piece has melted my heart....the english horn is just too beautiful.....a legendary piece (and recording)!

[chipncharge94]

argerich never searched perfection. and so this one isnt "perfect". but so beautifully played, one of most wonderfull rendition...

[sachan471]

esto es perfecto!!

[gipehache]

Désolé ! Je ne suis décidément pas d'accord avec tous ces éloges émerveillés : selon moi, (mais je fais peut-être erreur), ce second mouvement doit être interprété d'une manière très impersonnelle, simplement métronomiquement, sans rubato ni nuanciation excessive.

@gipehache YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[uhartchristian]

@gipehache c est certain que Ravel ne le voyait pas comme ca mais pourquoi pas...... si c est convaincant alors c est une bonne interpretation.

Thank you so much for this! She really improved this from one where she was much younger in 1991. Her style here is so much better, she is feeling the notes instead of just "keyboarding" them.

I am enjoying this so much that I would love to give it 100 more likes!

Martha Argerich is superb, there is no doubt about that. Yet if you like a truly steady metronomic performance, you should listen to Helene Grimaud's performance (available on youtube) - it is unsurpassable!

[takeitsaxman2012]

Love her interpretation, but that English horn player was flat and couldn't play with the conductor's tempo...he got really off! Other than that, really great!

[kerrywaller1]

@takeitsaxman2012 ummm i don't know what you're talking about... the english horn is perfectly in tune...

I lovee the english horn solo. This is my favorite piece ever.

[omjeremy]

it doesn't get much better than this... so beautiful. I've always loved Martha Argerich's playing.

[mountainlinx]

AiAiAiAiAi!!! How does she do it? Every single time!!!!!

I Love her!

[emmamillan]

Muy bella la obra....y martha hace una interpretación hermosa como en muchas de las cosas que hace. Admirable su dedicación y vocación. Hermoso!!!

[Mari94Air]

RAVEL is the est melodist ever!!!!!!!! and Martha Argerich plays so beautifully,she is the greatest pianist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DSM1G90]

...meant the 2nd movement...which is written in E, but true, the piece is in G...

[Antraeus]

Perfect. Thank you. I finally found this loud enough to listen to - now I just need to find a clearer recording. lol

[DSM1G90]

Wonderful simple melodic line in the key of E ...

[dasibaho]

@DSM1G90 In G, actually ;-)
