Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 тра 2024
- The very first bars of this piano concerto are so distinctive that they will remain in the listener's memory forever. Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 is recognizable and catchy. Charismatic piano virtuoso Martha Argerich lends an elegant lightness to this impressive piece. Conducted by Charles Dutoit, Argerich performed with the Verbier Festival Orchestra at the Verbier Festival in 2014.
(00:00) Coming on stage
(00:18) I. Allegro non troppo e molto maestoso
(20:36) II. Andantino semplice
(27:38) III. Allegro con fuoco
(35:53) Encore: Robert Schumann: “Scenes from Childhood,” Op. 15, No. 1
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is considered the most important Russian composer of the 19th century. He was born in 1840 in Votkinsk and studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatory with Anton Rubinstein from 1862. His compositions combined Russian folk music with western music influences. Tchaikovsky wrote several symphonies and operas, as well as "The Nutcracker" and "Swan Lake," the most famous ballets in music history.
Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op, 23 is considered one of the most popular piano works to this day. Tchaikovsky completed it in 1875, the same year it premiered in Boston. With its concise, rhythmic runs and its focused energy, it thrilled audiences then as it does today.
Argentine-Swiss pianist Martha Argerich is considered a "lioness of piano." Born in Buenos Aires in 1941, she moved to Europe with her family in 1955. Argerich gave her first concert at the age of seven. In 1965, as a young woman, she won the legendary International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, which was considered a sensation at the time and helped her rise to stardom. Since then, she has played with leading orchestras in the most renowned concert halls in the world. In 2005, she received the acclaimed and prestigious "Praemium Imperiale." Marta Argerich is considered a living musical legend.
Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1936, conductor Charles Dutoit has had a stellar musical career. He has conducted more than 150 orchestras over the span of his long career. In 1977, he became the artistic director of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and recorded more than 80 CDs. Dutoit and Argerich were married for several years. In 2017/18 Charles Dutoit faced #MeToo allegations and was the center of sexual harassment scandal which led to several orchestras cutting ties with the star conductor.
The Verbier Festival Orchestra is made up of highly talented young musicians and was founded in 2000. It offers young artists the opportunity to gain concert experience under the direction of leading conductors.
The Verbier Festival is considered the summit meeting of classical music stars. It has been held once a year in the Swiss Alps since 1994. In addition to the extensive concert program, the festival offers up-and-coming artists an opportunity to work with the very great artists of the classical music scene. Martha Argerich is a regular guest at the festival.

I’m so glad Tchaikovsky refused to change a single note after the harsh criticism of Rubinstein. This work is truly a masterpiece!
Wolfie: Me too! FWIW, I think PIT ( my shorthand for Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikosky) did capitulate somewhat and eventually revised a few things but not much IIRC (perhaps in the Cadenza?)...
I just don`t understand, why a) a great artist would not play an encore, b) the audience would scream, when she does.
Arthur rubinstein??
Anton rubinstein
My all time favourite!!!! It’s a masterpiece
Love how she still has time to tuck her hair behind her ear between such complex piano chords 😊
😄
Goes to show how familiar she is with the composition. She knows every split second pause and knows what she can do and for how long before the next note. Every note has been carved into her subconscious.
Yes! I noticed that too!
Um 5:21

The older you are the longer it takes to warm up in front of an audience, and yet Argerich is present and ready from the first note. What an amazing individual she has turned out to be. Truly one of the greatest pianists to have ever lived and this is the proof. In her later years she remains a giant, an insurmountable giant.
Lovely sentiment!
A great artist must play an encore. That needs be, sorry.
@@soavemusica Actually is the opposite, want-to-be artists need to play encores because they need to become known. A great artist does what he wants ;)
I thought she did play an encore, according to the listing, even though it us a piece from Robert Schumann's album for the young! I haven't actually heard it yet in this video, though.
Essa piada estão deslumbramento fico pasmado! Pianistas assim de você❤😮🎉😅
I love how Martha just took off at her own tempo
She SURE did and also didn't bother to count or allow rests. She rushed into the next phrase like no tomorrow.
@@michaelsmith697 Yeah, I agree. She actually just seems annoyed to be playing it, at the outset. Pretty funny.
@@frankborder Yes Rod - I agree. She just gave the conductor that "look" to say she was ready or whatever! Her tempos and timing were ALL OVER THE PLACE! She was jumping ahead all the time as if trying to beat the orchestra - it was like a race. I think our great Martha may have been in a bad mood or she didn't really want to play this work at the time with her ex-husband. By the way, I think Charles handled all this very well!
@@michaelsmith697 it just Was way too slow. The Intro was painfully slow imo
@@samueljele yes it was much slower than most performances. Hence, she took off on her own!
Her fingers flutter like hummingbird wings upon the keyboard, moving at such a dazzling speed, it doesn’t seem humanly possible.
Not possible for a mere human, perhaps... but for a SUPER HUMAN? Oh, YES!
Argerich is one of the greatest pianists of the world for so many decades 🌟👍🏼
Yes, I believe so. Martha HAS BEEN... Present perfect.
🇦🇷
And I believe the conductor is her ex- husband. And like her childhood friend, David Barenboim, she is multi-lingual. Amazing woman.

@@user-hb1mw8qg4y Daniel Barenboim, who was the husband to the belovd cellist Jacquline Dupre.
I'm a pianist; but what a performance without notes ... I can only say she's perfect. Tchaikovsky would be proud of her.
When the pianist drives the orchestra and the cunductor... :) Wonderful. Martha is such an outstanding pianist.
We know what you mean 😄
@@DWClassicalMusic ❤
In the key moment, 4:50 sec prior to the end, she wisely follows him, after all.
@@pawelduma754 Yes, and you can see what she thinks about it... :)
😊
I traveled from NYC to attend this concert, and managed to sneak backstage afterwards. Saw Dutoit, their daughter Annie, and later Evgeny Kissin stopped by to congratulate her as well. Incredible memories
By my
Someone who can play at this level in they're 80s is just outside of my comprehension
Recorded 2014
The way her fingers just glide over the keys is so magical! She makes it look effortless!
yeeeeah, but she struck a few ear-benders, which I think is why she didn't want to be praised at the end. I like the mistakes, it gives it character.
To the person who is reading this comment, it's okay, it's alright to feel lonely sometimes. If you are going through tough times, keep pushing through and never give up. I wish you great success in life, good health, love, and happiness!
It's also alright to be strong, self-reliant and strong-minded, in easy self-control, embracing who you are comfortably in your own skin, knowing you always own the place where you stand and taking life in stride without being overwhelmed by it. Virtues that aren't particularly promoted in these years of Big Pharma telling us all that we're all ill and can only thrive paying for their specialized support and medication.
@@samyagdrstiyes amigo!!! Amor propio ante todo. Cuanta razon. You are great my friend!!!!!
Thank you so much for your support, it's very important! With gratitude for the kind and necessary words. Sometimes one on one, but now with you! This means that love has doubled and it has become warmer and calmer. I love you, the person who said the simple and necessary words. @MusicLetters37
I want to add to my previous post: do everything that supports you, gives you strength.
@@samyagdrsti ahh, the paranoid, Jordan Peterson side of UA-cam rearing its ugly head on a Martha Argerich video. Bore off.
Argerich is one of the very few pianists who can really make me sit up and listen to this warhorse of a concerto. Aside from her stunning pianistic abilities she really listens and interacts with the orchestra like the superb musician she is. To show she is not simply a keyboard athlete she plays with exquisite simplicity the first piece from Kinderszenen as an encore. What a lady!.
Martha Argerich probably the best pianist alive. She is from Argentina, when studied in Buenos Aires with maestro Vicente Scaramuzza. Switzerland was only her country of residence, so she is not an Argentine-Swiss pianist she is an Argentine pianist and a great pride to our country.
She doesn't just play...she runs the orchestra. Obvious from the beginning of the video. At her level of talent and experience...I suspect one can do so. Just what I see. Perhaps, I am wrong. All just beautiful.
It is so absolutely wonderful to see former husband and wife cooperating in creating such beauty!
👍
Words cannot describe the greatness of Martha Argerich, one of the most gifted pianist to ever grace our world stage. Our lives are eternally enriched because of her existence. This was a great performance under the baton of the great conductor, Charles Dutoit. The youthful orchestra was exceptional. I will long remember this performance. Thank you Martha.
We're glad you enjoyed the concert 😊
@@DWClassicalMusic My pleasure! Thank you!
I fully agree
رائع!🎉
Ya perdí la cuenta de las veces que escuché este concierto!!! Es impresionante lo bello que es y Martha Argerich es grandiosa...❤
There is an archive where she played this masterpiece more then 40 years ago - fantastic young energy! But here the other side as a philosophical contemplation of her long life....
This Woman is ICON OF PIANISM.
GREATEST WOMAN OF 20-21 CENTURY.
Extraordinaire performance d'une pianiste de plus de 70 ans. Autant de fougue, de précision, de force que dans sa jeunesse. Vraiment impressionnant. Bravo!!
What I would do... just to hear her play in person...
Time is such a precious thing... May I soon be fortunate enough to go to one of her concerts.
Her Kinderszenen made me a little emotional.
Argerich, you are a gift from God.
Love from Hong Kong...
We can well understand that! Martha Argerich will play some more concerts this year - but mainly in Germany and Austria.
Her Kinderszenen was my favorite part of this presentation. Beautiful concerto. Legendary pianist.
You can Google where she is playing in Europe or elsewhere, buy a ticket, fly there and watch her. Only thing is I read that she can cancel her playing even in the last minute due to health problems She did such a last minute cancelation with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 2007. She was replaced by a young pianist, 20 years old Yuja Wang. This was a big breakthrough by the very young and talented Miss Wang.
She plays this concerto with such command and ease that to me it sounds fresh again after hearing it hundreds of times.
👍
❤magnífica, ella es una gran, gran pianista Soberbia.!
Seeing and listening to Martha Argelich is like traveling, flying high, if you close your eyes it's like being in the sky
We're glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to follow us for the latest uploads.
After so many years she has not lost a little bit of her fire! Great woman!
That lady's brain and character are something else!! She's magnificent!
At the end she does both the conducting of the orchestra and playing the piano ❤❤❤❤ 👏 👏 👏 Bravop
ITS VERY VERY HARD BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE...WONDERFUL
Oh my God - to be so near to you, my beloved Angel Martha and all these loveable precious young musicians. This is like short trip to heaven. Thank you all, thanks to everyone, who made this video happen!
You pianist out there, watch & learn. This performance is absolutely fantastic. Go Martha!!!
Martha is ranked among the best in the world. You can hear why. Bravo Martha
Martha is spectacular!!!!!!!
What a wonderful Lady!!! I love her!
If I ever had to pick one piece I’d want to hear for the rest of my life … this would be it ! Moves me to tears .. every time !
Me too.
Es una pianista de elite GRANDE
Behold, the greatest pianist of the last hundred years.
STRONGLY agree

I'm in awe of that pianist...
Mesmerizing! She is a superb pianist. A legend.
2:39 she guides the conductor and orchestra, that's the real PIANO concerto about!
Extraordinaire talent Martha Argerich, c est toujours un grand plaisir de l écouter, bravo !
👍
Àmazing how little people know about conducting and cooperating with the soloiste.
N.B. young talents in the orchestra.
All very well performed.
(I am a Conductor).
Thank you Thank you Thank you Martha Argerich. You are for me Nr. 1. All the best.
The talent of these beautiful pianists of every decade is beyond imagination. Not everyone who longed to be a concert pianist could even get close. It is a gift to a special few who bring joy to all and appreciate their dedication. Thankyou all of them.
Absolutely sublime.
As an adult piano student, I wish we could get a video of this focused on her hands and recorded at 120fps so that we could slow it down and get a clear view of those insanely fast movements! It would be a master class in technique!
Tchaikovsky is without any discussion, one of the greatest classical composers.................his music moves you to tears...........gives you chills..........gives you energy.................and will continue to do so..................❤
she knows everyones part
sublime artistry and stamina of the musician ❤🇱🇨
Would have been amazing to me if I could attend Tchaikovsky concert
Breathtaking (and I love how unamused she is that she's been railroaded into doing an encore 😊).
Mesmerising! Age is really just a number.
Yesterday I was at her concert. Fortunately, she recovered from her illness.
Delight. She is incredible. Her performance is absolute magic.
still my favorite pianist after 35 or more years!
It's amazing.
She is beautiful.
Toujours aussi beau intense precis que quand ils etaient jeunes ...quelle energie!!
That first tune! We don't hear it in that same way anymore. 😭❤️
5:34
The greatest of the great! Just incredible! Thank you Martha!
Soy un ama de casa pero no he podido dejar de escuchar este concierto...maravilloso estas notas y la musica en general me llevaron a varios tipos de sensaciones...creo q eso es la musica te produce algo en tu interior gracias...
❤
ama de tu vida diria yo
Kids love music, you are not a housewife < TEACHER
La capacidad de apreciar la música está relacionado a la sensibilidad y no en a qué nos dedicamos profesionalmente. Yo soy pésima ama de casa y me gusta Argerich también.
La más grande pianista argentina de todos los tiempos! una genia❤
Superb,superb,superb!!! Martha Argerich,este divina,ca intotdeauna interpretatea sa este magistrala! Arta sa pianistica te transfera in sfere celeste!
Multumiri pentru postare,un adevarat regal!!

Tchaikovsky is so passionate & narrative, & Mrs.ARGERICH CATCHES UP THE SUBTLE CHANGES OF MOOD
A Phenomenal performance from such a true piano genius she is so good !!!!!

Martha Argerich is known as one of the finest pianists in the history of classical music, with her performances - in particular - of Schumann, Prokofiev, Chopin, Ravel and Rachmaninov commonly topping the 'best ever performance' lists. [BBC Music Magazine]

Based on this performance, I can whole-heartedly agree with the comment reported in Wikipedia that "She is widely considered to be one of the greatest pianists of all time". (Tchaikovsky's excellent "performance" needs no comment, the orchestra/conductor neither!)
Merci Martha vous êtes merveilleuse et courageuse je vous écoute avec beaucoup de bonheur!
We are glad you enjoyed it
Mois aussi, merci Martha.
Hands down! Martha is insuperable. Thank you for your this dazzling moment
Thanks so much for the post. The piano playing is mesmerising. I enjoyed this performance greatly - orchestra, conductor, and Marta Argerich.
Thank you!

She's my favorite pianist of all time
The greatest pianist of all time
Unbelieveble performance.Always Martha Argerich.Thanks Carmen Lima.
Tchaikovsky was one of the most famous Russian composers. His music had great appeal for the general public by virtue of its tuneful open-hearted melodies, impressive harmonies, and colourful, picturesque orchestration, all of which evoke a profound emotional response.
Tchaikovsky’s music is immensely popular and has made its way out of the concert hall and into your television sets, movie theaters and even video games.
Though Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake tanked on its initial run in 1877, it eventually obtained artistic immortality, thanks in part to the many pop-culture homages to the ballet that followed over the years. 20:02 [Britannica; CSO Org; WQXR]
What on earth has any what you have said to do with this performance and piece?
@@DAS1962 Tchaikovsky appears to be a core part of all three.

she is one of my favourite concert pianists
I have listened this concert in various instances with a lot of executions. Argerich execution is at the highest level, in my humble opinion.
This is her concerto. She already nailed it as if she's the one that composed it. Every notes were played effortlessly and with ease.
I think her octaves playing are still viral as it was decades ago 😊 Bravo! 👏👏👏
virile :)
Bravo, soberbia interpretación de esa gran pianista.
A wonderful pianist and orchestra, the music comes alive.
Вечная музыка.
Still love it! Her phenomenal technique and interpretation inspired me way back when when I was learning this piece.
Full body chills from her first chord
I saw their first recording when Charles and Martha were a "thing."
This concerto was so easy for her that she could play it rather easily while still sleeping.
You should look it up. Both were so young!
I believe they had kids together, but I am not certain.
Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
More pure magic from Ms Argerich. And let's hear it for the great Pyotr Ilyich.
Totally sublime. Martha Argerish, thank you for sharing.
Plus elle avance en age et plus cette femme développe l'art de jouer au premier sens du therme !! Son coté Errold Gadrner se libère de plus en plus !! Et tout ces jeunes musiciens partageant cette fête ont une chance incroyable de participer à cet magie du présent,!!
vraiment un trés beau moment que j'ai regardé 3 fois et que je regarderai encore
They say everyone comes in to the circuit playing Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 and everyone retires playing it. As far as concertos go, it's the easiest to memorize. Her performance of Rach's 3rd is still legendary and I'd place her second only to the man himself.
May God bless all musicians for such effort .
My favorite piano concerto performed by the great Argerich. Thanks so much. She’s magnificent.
Love how everything she does is totally clear... transparent... Amazing. She's one of the greats of our time, no question. Perhaps the greatest.
The more I watch Argerich the more respect I have for her.
Thank god! What the masterpiece!
Bravo Martha!!!.... Mujer, pianista y argentina!. 🇦🇷❤️🇦🇷❤️🇦🇷❤️

Восхитительное исполнение Маэстро Мартой Концерта Чайковского, такого известного и любимого , слушается по- новому в её исполнении , которое раскрывают все грани его прелести - тончайшими звуковыми красками и потрясающими каскадами фантастических пассажей из ярких фейерверков !!! Такого исполнения многие еще не слышали -- это не традиционная ,, устаканившаяся " версия , которая уже укоренилась в исполнительстве, а ,,новое слово" творца - пианиста - исполнителя " !!! Невероятно , Божественное звучание, задушевность , проникновение в самое сердце и душу !!! Это просто -- потрясение от нового прочтения музыки великого ПЕТРА ИЛЬИЧА ЧАЙКОВСКОГО!!!❤❤❤❤❤
