@TJFNYC212 -Michelangeli was as good as any that ever lived,Martha is probably the greatest living pianist.

It shows the possibility childs have to execute difficult works if they are well guided and work hard every day . This here is the result of at least 8 years hard work. Don t forget the interview of Mme Argerich where she says her mother obliged her to work . That gave her the possibility to make this incredible and fascinating long carèer

ARGENTINA !!!!

@mmoynan thanks for you reply. we do agree totally. she sure is unique and magnetic. Chura Cherkassky turned me on to her years ago and only recently I was talking to pianist Eduardo Delgado who again says she is unique as a musical personality :) I can't wait to hear her in the Beethoven 1st next month here in Los Angeles If she is here.... I am there

@TJFNYC212 I also agree that some of her fans are a little crazy and simply don't WANT to see her flaws or something (I also think that some have the crush factor :P). And I can't stand her more intimate Chopin either. But then again, no pianist is built for everything. Even considering all of her major shortcomings, I still think she's worthy of being thought of as ONE of the greatest pianists of the 20th century--because she is still phenomenal and completely unsurpassed in many, many ways.

@TJFNYC212 I completely agree. I think part of the reason she arouses such fanaticism in fans is because of how truly exciting her sound is--it's the opposite of boring, and therefore kind of grabs to listener and lures them into a state of complete admiration (at least that's what it was for me). I'm a huge Argerich fan, but wouldn't call her the greatest in the world (frankly, such a label is ludicrous). I do find her repertoire a little limited and lackluster as well--but I'm still a huge fan

[TJFNYC212]

the Hayden concerti. Another thing: her repertoire pales in comparison to many other great 20th century pianists: Richter and Gilels for example. Her rendition of the Chopin B minor is without equal in my book but the rest seems not to reach the level of a Michelangeli. Once again, I repeat that I adore MA but think the fans get carried away in their praise.

I love Martha Argerich but I do find that her "FANS" are fanatics in the real sense of the word. Why is she the greatest pianist in the world is the question??????? I love her in many works but I hate her in others. I love her in Schumann, Tschaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Ravel, Prokoviev but I can stand her in Mozart, Brahms. I love her in the Chopin e minor concerto: she owns it yet I cannot stand her in the more intimate Chopin. I love her in the Beethoven 1,2 and III but I can stand her in the
