@RH98 That's EXACTLY what came to my mind as I watched that before scrolling down to read comments! Looks like a shot from Clockwork or Strangelove =P.
@RH98 Indeed, shes a darling hmm? I wish Argerich was more well-known, she is SUCH a virtuoso. Messing around with the Liszt @ 1:30 sounds like she can REALLY play that sonata incredibly- sounds very nice at the slightly faster tempo. I was getting excited to hear the octaves and she stopped!!! =(
Well, well, they had a big fight on a plane to Japan and upon arriving at Haneda-Airport Martha flew back to Suisse, leaving her husband alone in Japan.
All planned concerts in Japan at that time were cancelled and they eventually got divorced. You can only guess why they had a fight!!
... and it changes... we give littles glances at each other to know if it works well or not... as far as I'm concerned I always ask, after the first movement I speak... and Charles does not like this at all... when we make a concerto, right after the first movement, I ask: "how was it?"
- and what defines the relationship with the conductor, when you play? is this like a relationship between a master and...
- no, that's not it at all... no... it's an understanding... or it's a misunderstanding... it depends ( she uses the term "entendre", which both means understand and hear in french, she plays on the double meaning of the word)...
- and we stimulate each other too... or we get into a fight
- oh yes, that's it... I'm talking about being a conductor...
- the physical contact with music, you have it when you are in front of your orchestra...
- oh yes... that... these are other pleasures. a pleasure of a greater kind. because you're not really responsible for this. you come to a peculiar instant when you really swim among things you create but not really make them at the same time... you see... you are like wrapped...
- ... in the "concours international d'exécution musicale de Genève"?
- at 16
- yes at 16...
- and you won the first prize...
(intermission)
- what do you remember from that competition?
- Oh... it was my second competition... because, two weeks before I had done the Bolzano competition in Italy
- which you won as a matter of fact
- yes... that was my first... well, that was all very new for me because it never thought I was going to pass through the first rounds so I never worked
- and what did one make you play at this time? - oh... plenty of things... for instance, the "facile" sonata by Mozart - at what age did you play that? - in any case... I played that in public, like this, at 4... that... and then that (and she plays the minute waltz by Chopin)... that - and then you began to work very seriously... - at age five - at age five... - yes - You left Argentina at what age? - thirteen... thirteen years old. - and a short time afterwards you were involved...
Is there someone who knows if it's possible to find this video , completely , on a dvd . Since the first time i've seen her , i love her ; Beauty , majesty , perfect pianist , all , She's got all . How loving another Woman ?
She is being asked at what age she began the piano, what pieces did she learn (she demonstrates), then at what age did she start performing and playing in competitions (video extracts). Later in the clip, Dutoit talks about missing the physical contact with an instrument when conducting. Then Argerich is asked what the relationship is between herself and a conductor during a performance. She muddles a bit, but indicates it's more collaboration by eye contact than following directions.
@CxC2007 Translation part 2 M : Lots of things ! For example the "easy sonata" from Mozart. [She plays it.] J : How old were you playing this ? M : Well, in public, at 4. This, and this. [There she plays Chopin's waltz.] J : And you've worked very seriously since 5 years old. M : At 5, yes. J : When did you leave Argentina ? M : 13. J : And it's a a few time after that you played the national musical execution competition. M : At 16 actually. J : Where you got the first prize. M : Yes. [Video]
J : Which memory do you keep from this competition ?
M : Oh, it was my second competition. Because 15 days before I did the Mauzanne one in Italy...
J : That you won.
M : Yes. It was my first one. And... Well it was all new for me. I was never waiting to cross the eliminating heats so I was never working, after I played, for the next one. So I was always taken by surprise, at the last minute, I didn't prepare. [Chopin concerto]
@CxC2007 Translation part 4 Charles : Being a conductor, I miss the true contact with the instrument. I mean... Uh... M : Making music. C : Yes, making music, spontaneously. If I wanted to play music now, I couldn't ! M : He can't ! C : You understand, I can go working a score... J : Some violin. [The journalist was dumb here.] C : Yeah that's it... M : Yeah that's it... C : I'm talking about being a conductor, ok. J : You have the physical contact when you're working with your orchestra.
C : That is another pleasure. A greater one, I think. Because you're not really responsible, you arrive to some moment where you're swimming in some things you create without really doing it yourself, you see, you're wraped in some scores, it's close to the ecstasy sometimes. It's extraordinary.
J [to Martha] : What is the relationship with the conductor when you play ? Is there a relationship from master to...?
M : No ! There's not that at all. It's an agreement, or it's a disagreement, it depends.
C : Yes but...
M : And we can stimulate each other too, or "bring in in feet", it depends... And it changes, we look at each other, and see if it works well, if it doesn't work well. I always ask after the first movement, I talk... [to C]
C : Oh yes.
M : He doesn't like it at all because when he's thrown in a concerto after the 1st movement I immediatly ask... So, how was it ?
About K.511... Oh great) I didn't expect such a quiet interpretation from Argerich... What a surprise...!! though I dont like her Chopin, as always....
Thanks for uploading!! It shows how happy she was then...
This has to be one of my favorite clips on Youtube. It's great to see a vintage clip of a genius in her younger days. I cannot believe how people age (seeing her now), she's like a totally different person. So sweet and easy going. What a career.
ho voluto rivedere il video della argerich proprio ora...per risentire le note introduttive del concerto per piano di chopin (si,sol,la,si,ecc.ecc.)per distrarmi dal dolore (forse artritico) a volte insopportabile, al ginocchio destro...vorrei
sapere cosa ne penserebbe luciano berio di questo divino tema musicale...si, proprio berio (il compositore contemporaneo, da alcuni anni morto) che ha accusato mascagni di non essere un musicista compositore!!!...
la argerich oltre ad essere molto brava era molto bella...non sapevo che fumava...non c'e' niente di male... io ho dovuto smettere piu' di un anno fa...era diventata una questione di vita o morte...ad una certa eta' il fumo e' veramente micidiale...grazie annarita per questi ultimi 3 video che mi hai spedito...sono veramente belli...io naturalmente in seguito li rivedro', come faccio con tutti gli altri (e sono molti)
Since I started the study of piano, martha has been my myth,my dream and the absolute reference. My nickname Argerich68,which wants to be an homage to her and not an attempt to be compared to her. Thank you! Annarita Santagada
