Ravel, Piano Concerto in G - Mov I: Allegramente (Martha Argerich, 1990)

[tucainga]

I cant stop watching her playing

[OceanbornSWT]

The highest top of the Ravel's production, performed by one of the highest top of the pianistic history

[Hazakuraable]

Argentina como yo, esta mujer hace que sienta orgullo de ser de acá, no como la mayoría de mis compatriotas, manga de mierdas.

[einsteinessa]

Wow, this is almost as jazzy as Gershwin...a forerunner to Rhapsody in Blue. I have loved Ravel and Gershwin both and didn't realize they were so similar...

[Graciepoo8790]

I know you're not supposed to applaud until the end of the final movement, but I would've burst into applause cus I wouldn't have been able to contain myself.

That was awesome

[galaxyplaneties]

@Graciepoo8790

i so agree

i nearly applauded at home watching this vid. this is so amazing.

[gibsondanny]

A LEVEL MUSIC FTW Couldn't ask for a better piece to study

[markzemusic]

Beautiful!

[ampz37]

this is like a Disney adventure movie...with color, scent, adrenalin, vibe all concocted into a marque.

[rakconductor]

Ravel is the best!!

[CorelliChopin08]

She was so beautiful when she was young, and now she is still as beautiful and talented.

[pianist3912]

What really amazes me about her performance of this is the spontaneity of it all!

She throws in off-beat sforzandi, sudden changes in dynamics and tone, and colorful phrasing. All spur of the moment!

In my opinion, no one brings this piece to life the way Argerich does.

She OWNS this concerto!!! But then again she rightfully owns the majority of the concerto repertoire.

[derek44344]

Argerich has complete control over the piano

[OrangeSodaKing]

Great piece! I'm learning it, but it probably won't be like this because she's a better pianist than I am...

[masolequii]

martha argerich!!!!! la adoro la sigo desde que yo tenia 9 años y ahora tengo 25!!!! es un orgullo que esta idola nos represente en todo el mundo!!!! is amazing!!!

[rakconductor]

Oh !! I love this!!!

[isabelle981]

OMG! You play this piece so well!

You hardly made a single mistake! Nice phrasing XD

I'm playing this piece - I'm learning how to do nice phrasing like you!

Which will be quite impossible lol because you're so good :)

[neversroad]

She seems kind of put out in this performance; Charles ??

[clarinetato]

nice dress! entertainment at all levels...

[eveAintCool]

Martha Argerich totally interpreted this lively piece with her wonderful staccati! but her hair seemed to be bothering her a lot this time........

[laqin007]

great Horn solo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[werq34ac]

so awesome, i'm not even going to comment. ... oops..

[NemoProkofiev551]

Martha's amazing. I love her playing! =) It's really the best out there.

[Ellinidara]

In my opinion,the best version,ever. !

[Venoks]

5:00 ! Belle grimace !!!!!! :P

[Fry106]

fuck yes...

[homonovus6]

Listen to the recording of this concert by A.B.Michelangeli with the direction of Ettore Gracis.  It's the absolute point of reference.

[pianoenthusiast11]

no one plays that cadenza like argerich!!

[wordwise3]

Her attentiveness to Charles reminds us of their marriage from 1969 to 1973.

[vocalpianist]

I just bought the score to this!!!!

I can't wait to receive it in the mail!! One of my favorite concertos of all time ;)

[bwonderlandj]

[curlysue27]

Amazing. I love you Martha.
