  • @korglove "what were you trying to prove? yes, you can play fast. we all see that. but where is the beef?" She was playing it Allegro CON FUOCO (with energy/fire).

    People who readily equate speed with heartlessness are rather dull. It's your opinion whether you like or dislike this performance, but it's hard to deny that it's one of the most exciting/energetic.

  • why the fuck we dont see her hands while the octaves?!?!?!?!

  • Once reality is done in its best way it's magical like this piece. Thanks!

  • @yomamajama777

    well, good for her!

  • the concerto itself is not too hard to play (but still, it is quite a challenge, at least for me; of course for miss Argerich it is only a warm-up), but the energy she puts in it is absolutely awesome!

  • Sorry Lady

    you aint no VanCliburn !!

  • The greatest octaves ever!!!!

  • I don't think she liked the pace and the lack of emphasis that the conductor wanted. In the end, she looked a bit upset. Still - she was as good as it could get with Kord.

  • I love how the conductor tries to keep the beat during the octaves, then just gives up.... :)

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

  • @th3wing3dpaint3r I completely agree with you. Playing a piece "faster than usual" doesn't necessarily make it lacking with emotion or mechanical. Critics of Argerich need not analyze her playing by parts and bits but rather listen, synthesize and just take it as a whole. This I think is the right approach to any art form after all. And no matter how others dislike Argerich's fast tempo, no one can deny that speed in itself is an important foundation of piano technique.

  • wow!!!
