Martha Argerich - Chopin Polonaise N°6 L'Heroique

Argerich rose to international prominence when she won the seventh International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1965, at age 24. In 1965, she debuted in the United States in the Lincoln Center's Great Performers Series. In the same year, she also made her first recording, including works by Chopin, Brahms, Ravel, Prokofiev, and Liszt, which received critical acclaim. In 1965, she recorded Chopin's Scherzo No. 3, Polonaise, Op. 53, and other short works in the later years. Argerich has often remarked in interviews of feeling "lonely" on stage during solo performances.[5] Since the 1980s, she has staged few solo performances, instead focusing on concertos and, in particular, chamber music, and accompanying instrumentalists in sonatas. She is noted especially for her recordings of 20th century works by composers such as Rachmaninoff, Messiaen and Prokofiev. One notable compilation pairs Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 (recorded in December 1982 with the Radio Symphonie-Orchester Berlin under direction of Riccardo Chailly) with Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 (February 1980, Symphonie Orchester Des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Kirill Kondrashin). Argerich is also famous for her interpretation of Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3, Ravel's Piano Concerto in G, and Bach's Partita No. 2 in C minor, which she has recorded several times and continues to perform. Argerich has also promoted younger pianists, both through her annual festival and through her frequent appearances as a member of the jury at important competitions.[citation needed] The pianist Ivo Pogorelić was thrust into the musical spotlight partly as a result of Argerich's actions: after he was eliminated in the third round of the 1980 International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, Argerich proclaimed him a "genius" and left the jury in protest. She has supported several artists including Gabriela Montero, Gabriele Baldocci and Sergio Tiempo. Argerich is president of the International Piano Academy Lake Como and performs each year at the Lugano Festival, Switzerland. She also created and has been General Director of the Argerich Music Festival and Encounter in Beppu, Japan, since 1996. Her aversion to the press and publicity has resulted in her remaining out of the limelight for most of her career. Nevertheless she is widely recognized as one of the greatest pianists of her time.

anyone knows how tall was martha back then?

[chansonetmoi]

Ist schon Wahnsinn, so spielen zu können, von der Kunst des Komponisten ganz zu schweigen!

(kannte bisher nur den durch Gilbert Bécaud für seinen "Pianiste de Varsovie" übernommenen Passus).

I assume that this is from the chopin competition.

she was born in 1941 and the chopin competition was in 1965.

so i think she was 24 here

[Shigeru1998]

Wie alt ist sie in der Aufnahme?

[cher19952]

how old is she here ?

[KarloFeder]

toll, wie sie strahlt bei der Reprise! Ihr jugendliches Temperament ist wichtiger als die paar Flüchtigkeitsfehler. Klavierspielen ist immer ein Balancieren am Abgrund! Man darf nicht hineinfallen, muß aber an dei Grenze gehen
