Me encanta esta mujer

played this way, it seems the most beautiful and important music in the world...

I think it's funny that some people have never attempt to play a instrument or learn some kind of music theory and have the nerve to judge music. They think they know what there talking about in till they actually analyze and play something in that field.

Just shut up and enjoy the music please

O ya! Please don't feed the trolls for gods sake.

...she sounds like a non-chopinesque sound non-chopinist who comes in from outside of the Chopin tradition, and makes a mazurka work anyway, using their temperament...sort of risky, but pretty damn neat...ordinarily, it takes twenty years out, after winning the competition, before you begin to sound OK in a piece like this, and most of them never make it...

[Dogaradodia]

It's like orgasm is ever flowing from her.

@Dogaradodia Um... weird.

[samuelv89]

@Dogaradodia ...yes.. weird comment...

[yogaman13]

@Dogaradodia I think I know what you mean. Her playing does seem to have this sensuality to it, especially in pieces like this.

[Rodessialaiho]

@Dogaradodia I Agree.

I hear a lot of complaints about Argerich's "lack of depth" and how she just plays things fiercely and beautifully, but without sensitivity. I think this is a great example of how wrong those complaints are.

[RH98]

@OriginalBasaliskos "depth" in music can be a bit of a laughable notion anyway: utterly subjective, ill defined, based on a load of stuff that we have no real ability to vocalize. At the end of the day you see as much, or as little, in music as you want to. Some people will swear Martha has endless depth, some will call her utterly shallow. Which party is wrong?... both of them: for thinking that such a thing can be defined, and for having the vanity to assume that they "own" that definition!

[briancolejennifer]

@RH98 Thus we should stay with comments like, "It's like a never ending orgasm with her", etc. Those are the best comments in my opinion.

[RH98]

@briancolejennifer Look out! Sorry, for a second there it looked like your straw man was about to blow away... my bad. 

[RH98]

@OriginalBasaliskos haha I just re-read your comment and realized that it looks like I'm calling you a fool. That totally wasn't my intention! I too am one of those people who would blindly swear that Martha's playing has "depth". I guess we are all fools in a way.

[OriginalBasaliskos]

@RH98 Haha, no, don't worry. I agree with you in a way.

[yohbyo]

sexyy...i mean, her music and her buff arms :D
