@MrBigAzzLover Hi. I agree with you. 90s is the best decade where all genres of music flourished - too bad it was also the last decade for such. Now, all we hear sound the same, with full of crap lyrics and mere 'one-hit-wonders.' 90s is also when artists really work hard to sell and promote rec...

It impresses me that he plays this concerto faster than Argerich.

the passage at 4:55 onwards is so effortlessly executed. I wanna see her play this concerto again at this time now.

I have personally watched Rachelle in the Little Mermaid musical at the Mercalco theater and I really didn't expect her to perform that very well. Great voice control in singing, acting, dancing and speaking diction all at the same time. Now, I look up more to her than her other contemporaries w...

it seems argerich hates the conductor's ritardando at 5:40-5:45. ;-)

hose playing wind instruments are like catching their breath with her speed..

The fastest, most effortless and most spontaneous Precipitato I've even seen so far.

I like the way he ended the stormy coda as if letting the last high note instantly stop and plink out. The mood of this ballad is about abrupt/sudden interplay between the extreme feelings of quietude and agitation without gradual transitions in both tempodynamics. The E to Am chord ending is a...

IMO, this is so far the most 'effortless' performance of this prelude in YT.

pop culture in 90s is way much better and appreciated even when there was still no ipods, cellphones, and mp3s. and no piracy yet too. artists way back then do it the hard way to make a name and to sell records. now, anyone can just post any amateur vid in youtube and become infamous.

i think this song is more about a retirement, not only of a singer, but any performing artist

kylie is one of the few pop singers whose live singing sounds almost the same as the recording.

Argerich has always played in the most EFFORTLESS way possible. Just look at how she executes those fast octaves.

@nevertheless123 I super agree. Playing with the least gestures and movements make a performer look more effortless. As they see, music should come from "within", not from external expressions.

i still prefer argerich's 1976 tokyo recital version

IMO, argerich has the most effortless performance of this in YTube, particularly in those those LH ocatves

i noticed that in this particular concert, she played 3 concertos - beetoven, liszt and this prokofiev.

i think he has similar speed with that of Argerich

as usual, her playing sounds effortless. and i love her slower-than-usual execution at 6:28-6:30

A realmusic maestro like Martha Argerich does not deserve a joke like this. This may be misleading for those who don't know her. Kindly remove.

Ms. Santamaria, I really admire your generosity in this interview considering that some (if not most) classical musicians are too serious and 'snob' in real life. Actually, in this interview, you look like a simple, humble and jolly person. I guess as an artist, as in any field, one must still l...

It really amaze me to see you still continue to play (effortlessly) pieces like this which is considered one of Chopin's "basics" (not because it is but it is a familiar one). I suppose you learned this piece decades ago and to still play it up to this date...I mean, it just feels nostalgic that...

@6digit I agree with you. I was also grade 6 that time. Watching MTV and listening to radio now are full of crap. Most songs produced today don't sound natural anymore (perhaps due to technology). Also, most are just revivals. As for artists, mostly are mere 'one-hit makers'. No could stay like ...
