totally agree... may be this is the "sleepy sugar plum fairy"... you know? I have the Cd of Martha and Economou playing this version, arranged by Economou soooooo fast, than I prefere this tempo! you are right when you say their sounds are amazing! Soooo clean and pure...
@TheScherzando may be It was a over-weight sugar plum fairy!! hehehe!!no, really, I love the tempo... and it's funny, 'cos Martha always has the "Martha tempo"= FAAAST!!
One of the world's greatest pianists...just gets better with age. Sans pareille.

Why is Freire sitting on this awful chair ? Couldn't the concert hall afford another bench ???

@Sankaman90 he exchanged the bench with the guy sitting behind him. Seems like he prefers the crappy kind of chairs.

MENTAL CONVERSATION BETWEEN BOTH:
0:43 -> Freire: I love with the diminuendo in the end...
0:45 -> Argerich: I prefer with a crescendo...
0:48 -> Freire: Its ugly, but well, You asked for....

0:50 -> Argerich: You little prankster!! (smile)

Freire and Argerich, they just know how to do it... They, somehow, talk to each other on each look, on each movement... Awesome!

This performance is the best example to explain: "the music is another language"!

My first reaction: deadly slow and over-nuanced. But then started to enjoy the moodiness of it.

too slow, or not ?

@TheScherzando You're not the first person to say that. My friends -who are used to a faster version of this- said that this sounded "sleepy".
I grew up listening to a slow orchestral version though. So this sounded normal to me.

@CarlaUY I'm totally agree! It's funny to see her playing slowly =)
But in my head I hear this music a little bit faster, even if their sounds are amazing
