That doesn't sound like raindrops, thunder and flashes...

Best performance of this piece ever .. the beginning is so beautiful, but mastery of this prelude is including all of it together where in the middle section you feel pummelled taken away and then returned to the sublime ... Martha succeeds
-
Wow she's actually playing it at a nice slow tempo! (I'm only saying she likes to play chopin much faster than originally intended :P).
-
She plays it too fast, way too fast
-
@mmoynan I agree. It looks like it was done by a professional typesetter - do those even exist anymore? - with a great attention to detail.
-
@mmoynan No!? LOL! Entirely serious. It really is a great title page :)

Awesome!

@mmoynan Was this meant to be sarcastic?

I came looking for this specific recording for one reason: Argerich is a master of dynamic. A lot of pianists start this piece a bit too loud.
The "thunderstrikes" in the middle of the song are preceded by a movement from pianississimo to fortississimo in a single measure. This is the largest dynamic gap in music, and lesser performers reach that measure too loudly to have anywhere to go from there.
No other recording matches this one in the degree of accuracy and violence.
