Conoscendo tutte le 7 toccate , questa per mia idea è la meno eseguibile al pianoforte,quella meno adatta, perchè i passaggi veloci risultano non agili come al cembalo e i suoni risultano goffi e non brillanti negli accordi , anche arpeggiati
What I love is Argerich seems to play with this Heart beat, its pulsing, exactly how I feel Bach would of loved it. This will sound good 10, 20, 50 years from now. Got that feeling.
@luisdelbar pues bien dime a donde tengo que ir para pateartelo, por mientras ve escuchando el segundo mov del concierto para piano no 2 de shostakovic
One of my all time favorites. I used to listen to it when I was twelve or so and still listen to it almost 30 years later. You just never get bored from it. Argerich has a very intelligent way of playing Bach, strong and firm when needed, small and intimate when necessary. Very powerfull and convincing performance.
Hey Breakt: Y quién dijo que Glenn Gould era el standard hiperperfecto ... a lo mejor lo sea para los canadienses y su reina ... pero lo que es a mí Glenn Gould' me aburre con su monotonía fantasiosa y amanerada ... No dicuto que es un muy buen pianista ... Pero para maestría hay que escuchar y aprender de Argerich, o si no les basta a los Canadians, de Arrau ... Te amo Martha
I'm usually a fan of Gould's but he massacres this piece, at least in the version that is posted on youtube: it's too fast, superficial, and the phrasing is wrong (oddly, for Glenn, too much legato). Hewitt's is slow and plodding. Schnabel has the right tempo but his phrasing is downright eccentric. For me, the acid test is the 2nd fugue starting at 2:30, which properly played is ethereal and one of the great moments in all of music. Argerich gets it (almost) right.
- Why not trying to listen each one of them for his own spirit?
I listen currently each one for his own emotion. Music is an emotional language. Gould in his play - may seem particular with his own sound. If you listen Goldberg's Variations it is a similar sound, if we compare to other players.
Martha's sound seem to me as spectacular, musical and more emotionnal.
I never understood why some people cannot enjoy many different interpretations and always have to decide which one is the best. If there is really A BEST ONE, we should not have so many artists performing the same piece. Only one would do it.
Also each person has his/her own taste, and what it is good for one it is bad for another. What makes anyone SO EXTRAORDINARY to be able to make the ultimate decision that it is the BEST? What an arrogance!!!!
@bababamoto I agree! Gould's interpretation's of Bach are so dry in comparison to Martha's! however I did think he was the best interpreter of bach on the piano before I heard Martha playing him!
Musical interpretations are as different as we human beings are different, we have to learn how to accept these wonderful differences.What it is quite difficult is to learn how to be as positive and objective as our possibilities allow.
@YinziTra While different from Goulds its also very similar in when playing Bach her fingers are doing that bouncy sort of fast release after she strikes the key as Glenn Gould also has the style. It gives the performance a sort of "harpsicord" flavour. To me it sounds like similar technique but Goulds is more dead on in its accuracty and hers has a little more romance to it.
She has a distinct nuance and approach to this piece in contrast to Goulds more imposing rendition. Flawless, but more imposing. Both excellent in their own right. Just a nuance, makes this rendition different and equally excellent. Any berating is inflated ego...
Angela Hewitt is another who superbly embodies Bach. Her rendition of BWV 911 is markedly different from Gould's and Argerich's... all three are superb.
I happen to thoroughly enjoy Glenn Gould's work, and think he had one of the greatest musical minds in human history. But that doesn't mean I'm opposed to Martha Argerich's style playing Bach. Martha plays differently from Gould, but so what? Her performance here is spectacular. You could say you prefer Glenn or Martha over the other, or don't like this performance for whatever reason, but saying she's "bad" or implying she could use your guidance understanding baroque music is indefensible.
@beakt I couldn't agree more, and in fact would insist, categorically, that Argerich is the only pianist -without anyone else even resembling what might momentarily be mistaken as an exception- who plays Bach on the piano anywhere near as well as Gould.
When it comes to Bach, Gould and Argerich divide the world between them; there is no third.
@beakt "implying she could use your guidance understanding baroque music is indefensible" nicely exposes the ridiculousness of the Youtube critic. The best comments are often the simplest, the kind that make you think "why did I not see it like that before"
@beakt Wow! Who said Argerich could use their guidance? Someone needs a major reality check! Unbelievable! Also,I find it funny how so many people think Gould is the paradigm of Bach interpretation, when although he was a genius, and a brilliant pianist, his interpretations are extremely unique and unorthodox. That being said, to say that he is the only one who did it "right" is to say that everyone else is wrong, in that no one else plays or played like he did.
@beakt -That and being totally ridiculous. She did not take a back seat to anyone-period. She is indeed the greatest living classical pianist. There exist only 2 or 3 others that even compare.
C'est dans ce genre de frimousse qu'on reconnait tout de suite la famille argerich et CHEN ^^ Un air de Lyda Un air de Stephouli et un air de Annie et bien sure un chtit air de Saralan :p
Excellent, but one can easily hear the difference (rubuto and dynamics) between a romantic pianist such as Martha, as opposed to a specialist such as Gould.
@Waldemar: What a wonderfully succinct comment, void of any useful elucidations. On par with the classic "lol this sucks!1", at least you didn't use ALL CAPS.
@WaldemarKoszlowsky : please,get over your fustration ,it's nothing wrong to hear a legendary,unique pianist , not only the greatest alive but perhaps the greatest ever,and feel such an anger,because you know that you are zillions of degrees below her . I would like to hear you playing the easiest little piece and start laughing at you : it's the only thing you deserve ! !
I love argerich. But note she has a very distinctive slightly forward tempo and attack, she plays very aggressively with great contrast in dynamics between the voices. That's why her intepretation is so good, but it's also not the way bach is standardly played (e.g. by her teacher Gulda or by Schiff) . It's a typically unique Argerich interpretation
une interprétation pleine de vie et d'une prodigieuse beauté qui m'amène à regretter que Martha Argerich ait enregistré si peu d'oeuvres de Bach pour clavier.
Her piano has the wonderful harmony between technique and sentiments. Kissin used to be my favourite but he's sometimes a bit too hard, although his playing is still so marvellous.... Argerich just has it all for me.
@lelilelu That doesn't makes sense. If you can be pleased by a performance, you have the right to be annoyed too. It doesn't have anything to do with desdaining people
Excelent performance by Martha Argerich. I have the complete CD and is is amazing.Listen to the fugues, the sound is really wonderfull!!!. Thank you Martha for so many beauty!!
Hewitt is great! Argerich is great!- these two women are the best living interpreters of the greatest composer who ever lived! Gould was pos. better - but he's dead now. It's a great shame Argerich has not recorded more Bach! I'm sure Ms Hewitt thinks so too ... They are the two sexiest women on the planet, most women who are so jealous of them! You just show them a clip and it's 'change the subject', I guarantee if u have an educated woman sees it, she will flinch at the sight of either.
Gold or not Gould this is absolutely fantastic, Martha is marvelous also in Bach. Her tempos are probably a little fast but the result is amazing. The fugue is incredibly played... Bach would have enjoyed it.
i fell in love with argerich for her powerful dynamism and her incomparable expression, and i am continually amazed by her -- this bach is not a style of music i would think she'd be particularly great at, and maybe gould is better, but there is something special about the clarity and the precision here. is there anything she can't play? love her.
Wouldn't it be rather dull if everyone played it the same way? I like the idea that we as human beings on our little planet floating in an immense void can be a little more free to choose how to play our musical instruments from time to time...there is enough beaurocracy in life already.
Agreed. In this life we all seem to strive to be the same from the fear it represents being different... being isolated... being unloved that we try to confine things in rules so that we have a standard to follow in this life. Yet, truly there is no structure in life: It is an illusion we create for ourselves so that we may "warp" the reality we so believe we live in. Funny how it works, neh? We humans like variation if we are open to it, although we are too fond of consistency, unfortunately.
@Teksunai Actually, humans thrive off habit, repetition and stability. Change can be pleasurable and refreshing, sometimes drastically needed, though, just like a pendulum returning to the equilibrium position, our lives inevitably reach a point of balance.
@ToulBoi That was part of what I was saying, thank you. ^-^ Just the universe itself, depending how you view it, is not predictable, we make it so by our patterns, and hope we follow the rules the best in what it is we care about, whether it be in a game, in musisc,etc. People are afraid of being different at times, thus being fond of consistency. Perhaps we'd be more creative if not for that. Thank you for your kindness in thinking I needed enlightenment. ^-^ And nice metaphor!
@Teksunai Yes, this tendency among humans is a sad reality, though to call it a fear would be incorrect. There is rationality behind why many are afraid to be different; simply because there is "good" difference and "bad" difference. Those who reach forward in society, into what the regular person sees as the unknown, can actually see, as they are a step ahead, they are in a whole different realm of thought. Unfortunately, for those who jump in blind, difference usually brings failure.
@ToulBoi This is an unbelievably pompous conversation, it stinks of selp importance and pretence. Don't try to sum up the universe, or the population of the earth. Listen to the incredible music.
she used some not lady-like words and in an arrogant way , to a young guy in Spanish in the belief that, in Berlin, nobody would understand her.
Well, I did and it was the first time in my life trying to get an autograph from an artist and, stupid young me , I thought someone who could give me such bliss to my senses would not even go to the rest room.
I postponed my first autograph to few days later when I went to the same music hall to listen to a Venezuelan pianist : Judith Jaimes
I just love her choice of tempo and dynamics! Martha is an amazing artist.

Stick with your show-off pieces, Martha Argerich. Leave Bach for real musicians like Richter and Gould.

You're so rude. If you cannot feel what she gives, it's not a reason to say there's nothing to feel and desdain people.

@lelilelu That doesn't makes sense. If you can be pleased by a performance, you have the right to be annoyed too. It doesn't have anything to do with desdaining people

Good performance but I still prefer angela Hewitt for this one... a little bit too machinal here
RevoMusic 2 years ago
Hewitt is great! Argerich is great!- these two women are the best living interpreters of the greatest composer who ever lived! Gould was pos. better - but he's dead now. It's a great shame Argerich has not recorded more Bach! I'm sure Ms Hewitt thinks so too ... They are the two sexiest women on the planet, most women who are so jealous of them! You just show them a clip and it's 'change the subject', I guarantee if u have an educated woman sees it, she will flinch at the sight of either.

Gold or not Gould this is absolutely fantastic, Martha is marvelous also in Bach. Her tempos are probably a little fast but the result is amazing. The fugue is incredibly played... Bach would have enjoyed it.

i fell in love with argerich for her powerful dynamism and her incomparable expression, and i am continually amazed by her -- this bach is not a style of music i would think she'd be particularly great at, and maybe gould is better, but there is something special about the clarity and the precision here. is there anything she can't play? love her.

Wouldn't it be rather dull if everyone played it the same way? I like the idea that we as human beings on our little planet floating in an immense void can be a little more free to choose how to play our musical instruments from time to time...there is enough beaurocracy in life already.

Agreed. In this life we all seem to strive to be the same from the fear it represents being different... being isolated... being unloved that we try to confine things in rules so that we have a standard to follow in this life. Yet, truly there is no structure in life: It is an illusion we create for ourselves so that we may "warp" the reality we so believe we live in. Funny how it works, neh? We humans like variation if we are open to it, although we are too fond of consistency, unfortunately.

@Teksunai Actually, humans thrive off habit, repetition and stability. Change can be pleasurable and refreshing, sometimes drastically needed, though, just like a pendulum returning to the equilibrium position, our lives inevitably reach a point of balance.

@ToulBoi That was part of what I was saying, thank you. ^-^ Just the universe itself, depending how you view it, is not predictable, we make it so by our patterns, and hope we follow the rules the best in what it is we care about, whether it be in a game, in musisc,etc. People are afraid of being different at times, thus being fond of consistency. Perhaps we'd be more creative if not for that. Thank you for your kindness in thinking I needed enlightenment. ^-^ And nice metaphor!
Teksunai 10 months ago
@Teksunai Yes, this tendency among humans is a sad reality, though to call it a fear would be incorrect. There is rationality behind why many are afraid to be different; simply because there is "good" difference and "bad" difference. Those who reach forward in society, into what the regular person sees as the unknown, can actually see, as they are a step ahead, they are in a whole different realm of thought. Unfortunately, for those who jump in blind, difference usually brings failure.

@ToulBoi This is an unbelievably pompous conversation, it stinks of selp importance and pretence. Don't try to sum up the universe, or the population of the earth. Listen to the incredible music.

Beautiful sound is one of the main characteristics of Argerich's playing. But maybe you are not sufficiently a connoisseur to appreciate !

she used some not lady-like words and in an arrogant way , to a young guy in Spanish in the belief that, in Berlin, nobody would understand her.
Well, I did and it was the first time in my life trying to get an autograph from an artist and, stupid young me , I thought someone who could give me such bliss to my senses would not even go to the rest room.
I postponed my first autograph to few days later when I went to the same music hall to listen to a Venezuelan pianist : Judith Jaimes
Ciao,
