Best piano player alive (2011)? That is probably true. Her musicianship is more evident in her ensemble work than in her solo or concerto performances.
Once we admit the illustrious dead ... she can't hold a candle to John Ogdon, or
Martha Argerich and Krystian Zimerman are my favorites .. Martha does things that no one else does and she is so emotionally powerful in her playing, a genius of music and a heart of artistry,
Biret and Argerich are my two favorite pianists! I'm so glad I found someone else who appreciates them as well. Most people I find who like Argerich tend to not care for Biret.
DJ Earthatic is in da house, playing all the greatest hits from your favorite old school artists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Rach-Man, Beet=meister and Sir Liszt-a-lot are in da House!!!!!! Featuring Proko-high-five & other of your favorites, on Youtube. Your number one 4 serious music & fun!!!!
Bravo for starting out with Argelich: she is without a doubt the best piano player alive and performing today - and to my mind at least in the top 5 or so pianists of all time.... such intense passion and insanely great skill combine to create an atmosphere charged with excitement, musicality and sonorific pleasure whenever she ventures out onto the stage. I hope she comes to Halifax sometime soon.....
Just coming upon this series, earthatic. Thanks for Biret, Kerns, & Ruby, all of whom are new to me. Glad you included 2 faves, Kovacevich and Perahia. There are a lot of other names you could have included IMHO, e.g. Aimard and Oppens, but of course this is an arbitrary game in a lot of ways. Amazing playing, though, as you say!
there is no "best" pianists.. c'mon I'm tired of this crap of who's best and who's better. It only makes being a concert pianist even more difficult since you put labels on "whos better, best" It's a matter of taste. Each person has something new to offer to the table! Don't give me the best. Instead give me the most original. Let me add, a real pianist is someone who's original. That means who doesn't work off previously composed songs. I respect the dedication but not the originality.
I wish to feature my teacher one day Carol d Ambrosio she was so great is her day she woke up one day and could not walk it's sad sorry to write this here but hearing her reminds me of her..
This kind of music is new for me [I'm metal fan], but this looks like very difficult to play. Some part sounds like some etudes - written to show how good you are.
Liszt Bminor sonata played by Argerich, started my love for the piano.. She is awsome, but there is no best of course, music is not a competition and there are so many interesting/beautiful ways to play a great piece..
There are many excellent pianists, Argerich is one of my favorites, she has a special place in my heart because she was my first piano-love, but I have many :-)
I first heard Martha Argerich play years ago. One afternoon I was visiting the public library in South Los Angeles and checked out a Classical CD of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor K. 466. I was amazed by this pianist's emotional interpretation and precision. After reading the linear notes on the sleeve, I discovered that it was MARTHA ARGERICH from Argentina ( coincidentally, my French Creole father named me after a popular boxer from Argentina named " RAMON LA CRUZ " )!

@parpaiounverd It should be "like SHE" you fucking retard. It should be a nominative pronoun, not a fucking objective pronoun you fucking douchebag. It could also read "No one plays Rach 3 like she does... No one...." You need to seriously learn some fucking grammar before you make another fucking ignorant, retarded post.
@parpaiounverd I like Martha so much and I think she is one of the best living pianist but in my opinion the best Rach 3 I've ever heard is by Lazar Berman.
Hola que tal! estuve escuchando a Roberto Bravo no lo conocia y me pareció un pianista increible, pero espero no te moleste yo percibo en Argerich ese Don que la hace formar parte de ese circulo de pianista únicos en el mundo.. Saludos hermano chileno desde Argentina!!
Hola edusominador! Si! imposible no conocer a Claudio Arrau! En mi opinion Arrau, Rudolf Serkin y Vladimir Horowitz son el pilar de la época de oro del piano pero no hay que se injustos las lista es muy larga por ej. Bolet, Murray Perahia, Bolodos, Cortot, Pletnev, Rigter, Turek, Gulda, Glenn Gould, Duraskoda, Bronfman, Earl Wild, Van Cliburn, Entremont, Radu Lupu, Uchida, Baremboin, Solomon, Cherkassy etc, etc...
ademas no olvidemos que es complejo nombrar un solo pianista ya que cada uno es especialista en determinado tipo de compositor pero no en otro Saludos para todo Chile!!!!
la verdad robertoo bravo es muy buen pianista pero su caracter es pesado pero eso no importea sino que la pasion a la hora de tocar y bueno de los chilenos... a roberto bravo le PESA el fantasma de claudio arrau ya que es mucho mejor la se aen pasion interpretacion y experiencia arrau de verdad lo considero mucho mejor , soy chileno
Hola Dantebulsara!! Mirá, es posible que pese el fantasma de Arrau lo que pasa es que en estos tiempos se torna difícil la no comparación y a Roberto Bravo lamentablemente le toco en Chile ser comparado con el incomparable Arrau... Saludos desde Argentina!!!

How appropriate and satisfying that you would begin your series with Madame Argerich. I personally do not feel there is any more exciting pianist alive today.
When she is playing Ravel's Piano Concerto and Prokofiev's First Piano Concerto, I can't wait to see it as well, I'm going to see it live at the Royal Albert Hall! When I saw her name in the prom listings, I instantly wanted to see that concert, I am such a fan of Argerich! I am even thinking of making a tribute video!The concert also has the amazing orchestration of Pictures at an Exhibition, and a piece by Viver! I am really looking forward to it!!!! Another month and a half to go though!
I will include Rachmaninov playing the piano in the series, but Liszt and Chopin were living before recording was invented, so I can't include their performances, but I will give them credit in the series. I promise you, Rachmaninov is one of my favourite musicians, I shall not forget to include him!
earthatic, is there a way for you to send me those Martha Argerich performances, the Rach 3 one and the Chopin Piano concertos you used in the other videos ?
I can send you the videos of the Martha Argerich through a private message if you want me to, the Chopin from the Best Piano Concertos Part 2 is from a CD but I can upload the contents from that CD and send it to. Let me know if you want the private message.
stupid comment, considering you've never heard & never will hear chopin or Liszt play. & rach wasn't the biggest master of the instrument although he did at times bring charisma that others couldn't.
there's a HUGE difference between being the best pianist & the best composer. there are composers who couldn't even play the instrument they were composing for.
AMAZING!!! 5 STAR! i shall repeat what the others have been saying, Argerich is totally fantastic! what is else to be said! the rachmaninov was fantastic and a fantastic way to start a new series! the chopin by idel biret was so beautiful! these women are some of my favourite pianists ever! can't wait for more in the series! straight to my faves!
Reading the comments I only can say from my own experiences in listening to pianists, that I had a strange experience once, when I heard Rachmaninov performing his own third piano concerto.... Though I LOVE his compositions as the most beautiful ones EVER, I did not prefer his piano performance more than from others.
And, listening to Argerich here, I cannot imagine that the Maestro himself would have done it better. She is amazing. Great.
She earns the Rachmaninov Award, if there was one....
I totally agree with you. In my opinion, Sergei Rachmaninoff was the best pianist, even though Martha Argerich is also an extremely talented pianist, along with Marc-André Hamelin and many others..e
Thanks for posting earthatic, your videos are tresures
Argerich is a good choice to start a series like that one. Idil Biret is more surprising, although she is most respected by many great pianists.

You touched me already before the video started, knowing, that what was coming was dedicated to me, being a piano-lover in the deepest way.
Listening to it the touch is going deeper and deeper, because it is as if I am a pianist myself, wanted to be, have been maybe in another life, anyway: that feels as a deep pain not to have had the opportunity (again) in this life to play on it, or even hear someone playing live on it with this kind of music, as a Master....
