Bartók, Piano Concerto No. 3 - Mov 3 (Martha Argerich)

[usbnahual]

W.T.F this is awesome beautiful ..............

[sonozoltan]

Martha Argerich is the WOMAN!!!! Stunning!

[flic71]

che meraviglia, sia il concerto sia Martha sia questa orchestra!!!

[Grisostomo06]

Wow! One of the best videos I've ever seen! Fantastic performance by both Martha and the youth orchestra. Solid.

[nanajockel]

It is thrilling to observe Martha's identifying with her orchestra here in Beppu. She admires the members and it is obvious. Extraordinary collaboration.

As always, thank you Kimo.

[bubbles9816]

sure,

[suniforlife]

Amazing

[lflagr]

I love how she always gets up to shake hands without even bothering to wait for applause. It's like, "OK I'm done, get me out of here" lol

[musicphreeque]

wow.. .. just.. wow.. lol

I decided to look this piece up because it's mentioned in a music analysis text I am studying. This is just so full of energy from beginning to the end! The dramatic interchange between the orchestra and the solo is just so captivating, and yet almost overwhelming! It's hard to imagine Bartok forming this piece in his mind. Truly inspiring to say the least.

[liana4y]

I love Martha, she is best of the all pianists!!!!!!!!

[fredericfranc]

Hard not to be moved to tears by her natural ferocity, she is so famous for. Makes total impotence of someone like Lang Lang in this context so pathetic. Yet the overall sound from these juvenile Japanese is nasty. You want to get close to this music, try Monique Haas with Ferenc Fricsay cond. Having at least one native Hungarian on hand helps.

[kundalini76]

@fredericfranc"Yet the overall sound from these juvenile Japanese is nasty" Just want to point out that the audio quality here is very hissy, compressed, and muddled especially in the climaxes. Martha's amazing strong tone and projection come through relatively unscathed, but you still hear a muddiness and blurring of the piano sound. If you listen 'through' all the muck you will hear that this is a SUPERB orchestra which rivals many professional ensembles.

[kundalini76]

@fredericfranc : (continuing my comment) If you were at the concert I'm sure you would have no reservations. The standard of playing and maturity from these young musicians is first-rate.

[luisiege2]

Her Awesome way of playing piano, and the Bartok composition are making me cry.

[GBV1961]

Splendida.......

[chl91039]

oh my!!

bravo!!!!

[orchdork607]

Bartok is awesome. :)

[Liptonater]

marvelous how all these chinese people move in exactly the same way

[liszt100]

japanese

[MATTDUNCAN1]

a marvellous addition to the recording repetoire...can someone tell me please....does she play bartok no..2..i cannot find it

[vitellia]

I really wish she had remained sitting down for a while after the very last note. It was one hell of a performance, regardless, as expected from this amazing artist.

[pirrostsakas]

I've never seen anyone play this with such ease and comfort. Most stress themselves to the max trying to catch up. She always has time to look at the director and catch the pulse of the orchestra. At times (like 4:50 to 5:10) her hands and body move like a jazz pianist. Admirably fluent and effortlessly. Oh the lady is a tramp!

:-)

[djrbfm]

very sexy wen she was young.

a free spirit.

so was Bela.

[lilpep4ever]

Handel, Britten.

[lyghdha]

What about Delius! It is def. English, it could be nothing else.

[eoghdes18]

I don't know why my last comment got three dislikes... It's not a bad thing...

[eoghdes18]

Bartok has that Waltonian playfulness, coupled with an Elgarian sense of melodic line in this concerto. I've never heard him sound so English!

[Medsas]

this is because this was composed at the end of his life, so it's a bit uncharacteristic.

[sll10]

Man that was fabulous! Fine youth orchestra too!

[darnmat]

Wow... i felt connected with this piece...

[beethomozart]

composed in 1945 and premiered in 1946 under Ormandy's baton in Philadelphia, this Bartok's 3rd piano concert was finished by his student Tybor Sarly ans it was dedicated to his wife Dizsta Pasztori

[MichaSchlechtriem]

M.Argerich great as usual, many Kudos for a performance hard to match!

But great young Japanese Musicians too!

A very great performance of this young Japanese Musicians, this is first rate Orchestral playing!

Michael

[abelitro12]

Very nice. To be great is expected of Argerich, but the orchestra isn't bad at all, and Bartok's music is like fresh air.

Thanks for posting.

[lilpep4ever]

I thought the orchestra did not keep up with her on the first movement. Specially the winds.

[Tiagoerg]

Thats i actually like in Bartok...the piano is somewhat treated in some parts like a percussion instrument...for instance that part at 2:20...AMAZING! Congrats bartok for writing such a amazing concerto...and congrats for martha as well, an amazing pianist that captures the spirit to the concerto. The sauvage feminine (dont forget that the concerto was dedicated to his wife lol)

[Snufkin999]

around 2:20 is demonically horrifying...!

[Nuramon345]

This fugue at 0:58 is the very best I ever heard!!!!

[PianoVlog]

why martha always speaks compulsively with the conductor and some violinists at end of the concertos? martha greeting the the poor japanese violinist two times and she returned the greeting the two times too xD, a very confused and a bit scared... after martha smiles to who knows where.... she madness is legendary too... anyway, what good artist is not a bit crazy?

[GreggaryPeccary]

Alot of artists talk with the conductor after the performance. Concerning "very confused and a bit scared", Japanese women always look like that when foreign people are around

[wlprwell]

no coments... the best!

[detectivesnoopdog]

ONLY WOMEN...HAHAHA

[domkim1986]

I think that Japanese Conductor is Gay...

That's the reason why most of male musicians don't want to deal with him.

[PianoVlog]

male musicians? is he female?

anyway... exists a straight man musician? i mean, a talented?

[domkim1986]

I mean, I don't care who is gay or not, but

the overall style of conductor looks gay that

I'm thinking.

[PianoVlog]

w...t....f?????'

every comment of you is a parody of a high IQ mind

no more comments :O

[Timmytimtimtm]

russian maby gay ,that I;m not eager to know

[Timmytimtimtm]

he's Russian

[Timmytimtimtm]

he's Russian

[Hervinbalfour]

If you were referring to Bartok he isn't Russian. He is Hungarian.

[ycostant]

Not only, look better

[threelegduck]

i prefer to listen to 2 then 1 then 3, but my favorites in order are 3 then 2 then 1

[trschaefer]

Concerto Number 3 is my favorite, and Concerto Number 2 my next favorite. However, I could never really tolerate Number 1. Funny how I like them in the reverse order of their original composition. Argerich is unbelievable!

[EMESISXXI]

it remains interesting since bartok composed and dedicated the concerto to his wife. Might sound a little silly, but the third concerto is considered to be quite more feminine than the others

[PaperCaravelle]

No, but that would be great.

[Emlomor]

Only women in this orchestra ?

[jzer21]

It's great to see your videos back, Kimolerik!  I need my daily Martha fix.
