I use to watch my mum play this when I was 5 or 6 year old. My mum was a concert pianist. It brings tears to my eyes even today I can see her playing this. She was a wonderful lady and brilliant pianist. I am 75 year old now and miss her very much. God bless her.
john pogson John,, how marvelous to have a concert pianist for a Mum. It brings tears to my eyes to read your comment. This is probably my most favorite piece of music ever. keep the faith man. love john x
john b We didn't see much of Mum in our early years. She was always away playing at a concert somewhere. She did play the Albert hall in the 30's. Wish I could have been there to watch. Thanks for your lovely comment. You keep the faith too. Thanks again John x
john pogson God Bless, John. That's heartwarming to hear. I am just 26 and discovered this piece about 3 years ago.. .I'm a pianist but I play Billy Joel and such, no way I could play this without a TON of practice.. the arpeggios are insane. It's a very emotional piece.. it reminds me of my own bipolar disorder as it's happy and sad and anxious all at once. Live well, buddy.
Absolutely. Wait till you find the opening of Chopin piano concerto 1, then Rachmaninov piano concerto 2 and 3, then Bach piano concerto 1. The beauty never ends...
I was eleven when I first heard this piece of music. I listened to it on a battery operated radio in a wee cottage in the Perthshire Highlands of Scotland. (Just after the war) I had no idea what I was listening to, only that it touched my soul. I sat down and wrote to the BBC and waited. For years I treasured the formal letter on embossed BBC letterhead thanking me for my enquiry and naming the piece I had listened to. It moves me to this day.
I like that seeing dozens of performances, years apart sometimes, you can decide what you love & then buy great quality recordings. I love full orchestras but I do wish the YEAR of the performance was included.
Christine Still 1975, two years after she had been divorced from Charles Dutoit, the conductor (they were married from 1969 to 1973, but continued to record and perform afterwards; they also have a daughter together, Annie Dutoit). Makes this performance even more special.
Her smile during the passage starting at 28:10 !!! The pressure and level of skill involved here is off the charts, yet she's just up there having fun. I love it. :)
@@maxpower252 If you listen to her speak, she's so humble and not narcissistic at all.. To me, it's like a smile of appreciation directed to the piano..
Lol, ironically - while I agree with you, and that Argerich showed some of the greatest instrumental grasp the world has ever known - I think in this case she is smiling to herself because she hit a small wrong note. She does that sometimes! Haha
Most people, even top pianists, would be sweating from the concentration and sheer exhaustion of the piece and she is just smiling like it's a cakewalk. Just having fun, she says.
I switch back and forth watching both Martha and Yuja Wang perform this amazing piece trying to figure out who is better and couldn't so I came to the conclusion " It be pretty close, I'd hate to have to live on the difference".
As a German I am proud too. I admire her. And to be honest, a high percentage in Argentinia has German ancestors. Best wishes from the free and hanseatic city of Hamburg/Germany
Frater Tenc Also I could never manage playing such syncopation on the piano! Some of the piano parts have two totally different time-shifted rhythms that are wayyy out from each other. Even many bassists and drummers would have trouble individually playing the two separate timings.
I always thought that this musical theme is so incredibly beautiful and touching that when Tchaikovsky wrote it down he was so astonished himself that he couldn't get it to be developed as it would deserve. As a matter of fact, the entire concert is about resisting the temptation to get back to the main theme as soon as possible.
I still have this LP, belonged to my father. He played it in the 60's. Everytime I hear this it makes me cry, seems this piece is deeply embedded in my soul. He died 1971 aged 35. The piece is a treasured memory of days gone by.
First Bourne whats crazy is she's always been like that. In the 60s she had a recording of chopin scherzo 2, and her octaves are still out of this world
Martha said few days ago that she played the piano only 5 minutes a day during lockdown, just for fun... and after that she has performed Chopin Piano Sonata no. 3. She is a genius.

My grandmother was notorious for playing this over and over again on the record player when my dad was young (early 70s), along with Rach 3. He said she used to listen to it so often that he and everyone in the house got sick of it, but she loved it still. I think that was partly what prompted my dad to start learning the piano. Today my dad is a professional cellist and I wouldn't be a violinist if it wasn't for him. I had the fortune of seeing this concerto played by Dmitry Masleev (first prize winner of TCH15) a few years ago in my little town with the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pavel Kogan. What an incredible concert. The crowd clapped before the first movement was over and in between movements, but honestly I couldn't care less because it deserved such a rapturous response. One of the most incredible concerts I ever saw. My sister was there as well and actually got to speak to, along with her class, ask Mr Masleev questions. He didn't speak any english so they needed someone to translate, and he said he practiced 8 hours a day. That blew my mind a little bit.
wtf did i just watch? how can a human being do something like that? is her brain consciously controlling those hands or is she in some kind of trance. this is amazing. played so beautifully. it brought a tear to my eye, such a beautiful piece.
I've watched Lang Lang. Then, I've watched Yuja Wang. Lastly, I'm watching Martha Argerich. I'd say... This performance of hers takes my breath away more so than Lang Lang's and Yuja Wang's combined.
@@olliemartinelli4034 I think a lot of pianists are constrained by the technical difficulties in the piece like the octave sections, but Argerich is able to bring everything up to the intended tempo and truly able to play the piece as she wants it to sound.
@@mikrokosmiko1 Yes, I did. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have made my original comment. Don't get me wrong. I am a big fan of Yuja Wang but not so much of Lang Lang. I love each and every performance she made and I like her interpretation. I watch every video of her performances and she inspires me.But, as I watched Martha Argerich's performance, I have to say that Martha Argerich's take on this piece surpasses both of theirs. But each to their own. Every performer is unique in their own way and both Yuja Wang and Martha Argerich happened to be among my favourite pianists.
Sure, yeah, tie passes but nothing changes; you'd still have to travel far and cash out hundreds if not thousands in order to attend a performance of Martha Argerich, when she plays, if she plays. UA-cam hasn't beaten live music!
To me, without a doubt, Tchaikovsky's Piano Concertos No 1 is the most spectacular piece of music ever written. I've listened to this recording back to back three times and could just keep it on replay all the time. I never get tired of it.
Este concierto siempre me levanta espíritu y no me aburre escucharlo, es tan magnífico q es un placer hacerlo,sobre todo interpretado por semejante genia. Gracias.
This became an obsession to me at 21 when I first began listening to 'classical' music. Now I'm teaching myself the piano I plan on learning it in 2018.
Andrew Beadle hey Andrew just thought I'd share my experience with you. I heard it at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester my home town when I was 11yrs, obviously it blew my mind and I became totally obsessed with it. I decided I must learn it so I went and bought the score and started studying it. I could play the into almost emediately, I just practised the passages I could play with moderate difficulty and then gradually over about 4yrs I'd nailed it. But I was just a kid, I spent the rest of my life to date and the love affair I have with it, a rich and enduring true love for it, perfecting and tweaking it. Don't be daunted by it, break it up into small phrases and take your time. As a tip I think the 2nd mvt is the hardest of the whole piece! Very best of love with it I'd say, you don't need luck, you just need to love it to master it
I approve, genuinely. The uniqueness of Martha comes through her progressiveness. As a pianist, she has grown both emotionally and musically to reach a sense of ‘oneness’ with what she is playing. Unlike other virtuosos which are incapable of progressing as they become older, Martha gives music a multi-faceted beauty that is hard to achieve when playing such pieces repetitively, according to the classical repertoire. I approve.
It’s wonder the ROC picked this as their national anthem. I’d be proud to hear this at the Olympics if I was Russian. A truly passionate and beautiful concerto!
For those who don't know: "She started playing the piano at age three. At the age of five, she moved to teacher Vincenzo Scaramuzza, who stressed to her the importance of lyricism and feeling. Argerich gave her debut concert in 1949 at the age of eight." (Wikipedia) Knowing this I don't think I would have the temerity (or ignorance) to criticize her piano playing.
Togutas You have verifiable evidence that "almost all classical pianists have a similar story"? In any event, I never said she was an exception. I merely quoted some biographical information for those people who want to post negative criticisms to think about their qualifications and skills before they start hitting the keys.
What are the qualifications of these people who criticize a superb performance? This is her interpretation of what the composer wrote down under the direction of Charles Dutoit. These people are probably looking at her hands and not listening to the notes they are creating . . . .
@@Emilien-hy3sy Please elaborate. First of all, I'd be glad if you accepted that not everyone shares the same opinion as you, so saying "there's no way that the Rach concertos are better" is just ignorant. Secondly, I'm really interested in your reasons for saying that the Tchaikovsky is much better. In my opinion it is pretty weak compared to the other great concertos, especially the piano part. Rachmaninoff's however seem to be unmatched in perfection of melody, harmony, textures, orchestration and thematic development as well as evoking a feeling of pure passion. Once again, just my own opinion though.
I lost my 93-year old mother last year. One could say "we were prepared". There is not a day gone by I do not think about her every little move or gesture. It is not a heart breaking sadness. It is like a profound LOVE and care that crosses the boundary of life and death. I am no longer afraid of my own mortality. For the first time I feel there is someone on the other side waiting for me.
El N1 de Tchaikoski es de lo mejor que escucho. Esta pianista es soberbia....felicitaciones Con las nuevas tecnologías todas las maravillas a nuestra disposición...es una suerte y un gusto la época que nos toca vivir....es este sentido.Gracias por todo.
Silviu Garet People like you never stop amazing me you have to call it like it is... as far as I know she is from the country of Argentina and you would say she is from where exactly? Please feel free to share.
Funny thing is, Argerich (pianist) and Dutoit (conductor) were married from 1969-1973, divorcing 2 years before this concert. They continued to perform and record together obviously.
definitely Martha, numerous divorces, abandoned all her kids for the music, etc... Great pianist, but terrible wife and mother. She sacrificed her chance at a family to become one of the greatest pianist.
@@SarahJones-wy5us Actually that is not an answer. The reason why they are top notch professional musicians is because they are talented. Not the other way around.
One of my favorite pieces, Martha , in my humble opinion is one of the best. Ño face grimaces, no tossing hair, no nudity. Just beautiful , professional making music
Que dire de plus sur cette vidéo ? Ce concerto avec Charles Dutoit qui assure un maximum à la direction face à Martha cette grande virtuose transcendantale, il faut admirer son jeu d'octaves aux deux mains qui est incroyable ! Je pense sans me tromper qu'elle fait partie des meilleures pianistes du monde! Bravo à l'orchestre et aux ingénieurs du son et image qui ont accompli un travail extraordinaire aussi.👏👏👏
I love this artist Martha Argerich. She is so talented as well as beautiful. She plays with her soul. There is no one in the word like her. I am honored to be able to listen to this piece by the world's greatest pianist!
it is good that we have all this great music. Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, brahms, Richard strauss, Stravinsky, bach, glass, and, of course, I could go on and on and on. we don't NEED to pick ONE and call them "the best"...this is a testament to the variations inherent in the human soul and experience...
Perfection from Martha full of command on the Piano 👍🏼. Bravo to the Conductor also. He is so expressive especially at the end of the 1st movement, give me goosebumps.
She is heralded as being among the greatest pianists. However, she is performing the GREATEST piece of music composed by the GREATEST COMPOSER that ever lived.
It's my dream to see this piece performed live. It's a very important piece to me, and I listen to it whenever I'm feeling really down. I think I would be crying in the theatre if I heard it in person, but ever since I first heard it, I knew this piece would be part of me forever.
The keyboard tigress on the loose! The amazing thing about Argerich is that her technical accomplishments are achieved with without fuss or theatrics, in fact nonchalantly. The speed and precision of her double octaves for example is electrifying. Having lauded her all encompassing technique, there is also an innate musical sensitivity and insight on display. A remarkable virtuoso whom is assured a place in annals of piano legends.
SHADGER BADGER yes shadger, Martha with H my name Marta within H yes? she was my friend in the school in Argentina. I am from Argentina. In our chilhood was very friend ....my english is bad sorry.
SHADGER BADGER Martha is a genius in the piano....she is all passion and all feeling...your soul is the piano but she was always very shy.....she was never arrogant.
Magnífico, no se me ocurre nunca qué otros epítetos usar: excelente, grandioso, genial... Tanto la obra como la interpretación. Y no me. Queda otra cosa que decir que GRACIAS !!!
I don't think there are any words to describe this performance. Every element of it is just incredible and beyond perfect. The piece, the soloist, the conductor, the orchestra.
Nobody here has mentioned that Martha Argerich is a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where Daniel Barenboim was also born. The two pianists have even had presentations together. As a latin american I am certainly very proud. Regards from Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Jose Salame There are a whole series of events were Argerich and Barenboim are featured together. First you can see them both as young people beginning their careers and then today where the respect and love for each other . Oh, just noticed, conductor is her ex I think...well we all look different when we add 40 years. Both Martha and Daniel were gorgeous young people, I must say.
Y el padre de Daniel fue el primer maestro de piano de otro grande:Lalo Schifrin . Todos hoy tienen más de 70/80 años y tocan,componen, dirigen como si fueran más jóvenes. Ellos son ejemplos para aquellos que desprecian a los de la tercera edad!
Whenever I am listening to this, it takes me back to my childhood in the USSR - near every day the fragments of the Concerto were on TV! Even the main news Novosti would start with it! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Simply unbelievable ... I never liked Tchaikovsky but listened to this because my wife told me that this was her prefered piece when she was young (in the meawhile we both have the 70 behind us) ... and I still do not like Tchaikovsky but once I started to watch Mrs Argerich I could not stop until the grand finale. Thirty four minutes I had the impression that Tchaikovsky wrote this with the thought in mind "now lets see who can play this" and look - there are geniuses who play this - and not simply "play" - but with a tear causing virtuosity, with deep feeling paired with ultimate precision - and all this by heart
The miracle one must stop to consider when listening to and watching this performance is how Tchaikovsky came up with and decided on the placement in the score of each of the notes. Yes, this is a work we all have heard hundreds, perhaps thousands of times. Some may call it a warhorse, but there is no denying its majesty. No less incredible than this performance by M. Argerich is the genius behind the actual composition.
exactly it actually pisses me off seeing someone who literally tries to act pretentious just because this is classical music. I guarantee that if he was on some other fcking video he wouldnt go around saying how the person who made the video is a genius and how he figures out how to fcking type on a keyboard.
L' esecuzione della Argerich è decisamente la più coinvolgente che abbia mai ascoltato di questo brano. Passione, pathos, romanticismo senza svenevolezze , una tecnica straordinaria e un senso di calore "mediterraneo" assolutamente unico.
Tchaikowsky is the genius of the geniuses !!! Martha Argerich - superb! ... but I don't get how people dare putting an ad in the middle of a masterpiece!
I use to watch my mum play this when I was 5 or 6 year old. My mum was a concert pianist. It brings tears to my eyes even today I can see her playing this. She was a wonderful lady and brilliant pianist. I am 75 year old now and miss her very much. God bless her.

Can you do it with that accuracy? :v
TBH I'd rather do that than homework.
lmaoo me every time there’s some kind of homework/project
i have no words for this. I'm just crying.
+katie bell I understand you. from the very first time I´ve heard this piece I knew that that is the song I always had in my heart. since that moment I listen this music almost every day and almost cry every time.
+caxopinhao everytime I listen to this music, something inside me wants to let all my feelings out and it makes me feel kinda strange... its like something wants to break out of me... I dont know how to describe it... others maybe dont understand me, but im glad I found someone who understands me and feels music in the same way as I do
+katie bell I do understand you, I feel the same way. My heart is touched, tears come to my eyes, and I think this is heaven!

Listening to Tchaikovsky is like being momentarily wrapped in God's sweet embrace.
God never existed, Tchaikovsky did exist, thats the difference
Screw that god stuff, Tchaikovsky's genius is what I marvel in.

My grandmother was notorious for playing this over and over again on the record player when my dad was young (early 70s), along with Rach 3. He said she used to listen to it so often that he and everyone in the house got sick of it, but she loved it still. I think that was partly what prompted my dad to start learning the piano. Today my dad is a professional cellist and I wouldn't be a violinist if it wasn't for him. I had the fortune of seeing this concerto played by Dmitry Masleev (first prize winner of TCH15) a few years ago in my little town with the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pavel Kogan. What an incredible concert. The crowd clapped before the first movement was over and in between movements, but honestly I couldn't care less because it deserved such a rapturous response. One of the most incredible concerts I ever saw. My sister was there as well and actually got to speak to, along with her class, ask Mr Masleev questions. He didn't speak any english so they needed someone to translate, and he said he practiced 8 hours a day. That blew my mind a little bit.
wtf did i just watch? how can a human being do something like that? is her brain consciously controlling those hands or is she in some kind of trance. this is amazing. played so beautifully. it brought a tear to my eye, such a beautiful piece.
Am pianist, it's trance

I've watched Lang Lang. Then, I've watched Yuja Wang. Lastly, I'm watching Martha Argerich. I'd say... This performance of hers takes my breath away more so than Lang Lang's and Yuja Wang's combined.
Anna Fedorova
@@siddharthabhimanyu9667 Federova gets nowhere near this. The octave passages are the best example of how Argerich technically is unbeatable.
@@olliemartinelli4034 I think a lot of pianists are constrained by the technical difficulties in the piece like the octave sections, but Argerich is able to bring everything up to the intended tempo and truly able to play the piece as she wants it to sound.
Have you tried listening to them separately?
@@mikrokosmiko1 Yes, I did. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have made my original comment. Don't get me wrong. I am a big fan of Yuja Wang but not so much of Lang Lang. I love each and every performance she made and I like her interpretation. I watch every video of her performances and she inspires me.But, as I watched Martha Argerich's performance, I have to say that Martha Argerich's take on this piece surpasses both of theirs. But each to their own. Every performer is unique in their own way and both Yuja Wang and Martha Argerich happened to be among my favourite pianists.

Thanks!!!
This is the video I watch when I'm being to lazy to practice and in need to whip my ass off the couch and on to the piano bench.
remsan03 Haha I watch Rach 2 for that xD
or maybe rach 3 or brahms 2 jajajaj
Gustavo Garcia
Yes, Rach 3 is the Everest which everyone aspire to. As for Brahms 2, Zimerman/Bernstein legendary recording was awesometacular!
Lol same
😂 same.....
It has been clear for some time that Argerich is superhuman. She is beyond, out of this world.
only 100 years ago watching & listening this was a privilege if the elites...not everything has gone wrong after all

Sure, yeah, tie passes but nothing changes; you'd still have to travel far and cash out hundreds if not thousands in order to attend a performance of Martha Argerich, when she plays, if she plays. UA-cam hasn't beaten live music!
To me, without a doubt, Tchaikovsky's Piano Concertos No 1 is the most spectacular piece of music ever written. I've listened to this recording back to back three times and could just keep it on replay all the time. I never get tired of it.

Something always draws me back to this video. Absolutely beautiful.
I’m in tears! I’ve never heard anything as beautiful and awe inspiring as this. Martha Argerich is the greatest pianist I’ve ever heard.
seems did not hear many
This became an obsession to me at 21 when I first began listening to 'classical' music. Now I'm teaching myself the piano I plan on learning it in 2018.
Andrew Beadle hey Andrew just thought I'd share my experience with you. I heard it at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester my home town when I was 11yrs, obviously it blew my mind and I became totally obsessed with it. I decided I must learn it so I went and bought the score and started studying it. I could play the into almost emediately, I just practised the passages I could play with moderate difficulty and then gradually over about 4yrs I'd nailed it. But I was just a kid, I spent the rest of my life to date and the love affair I have with it, a rich and enduring true love for it, perfecting and tweaking it. Don't be daunted by it, break it up into small phrases and take your time. As a tip I think the 2nd mvt is the hardest of the whole piece! Very best of love with it I'd say, you don't need luck, you just need to love it to master it
So what happened
Did you learn piano yet?
I approve, genuinely. The uniqueness of Martha comes through her progressiveness. As a pianist, she has grown both emotionally and musically to reach a sense of ‘oneness’ with what she is playing. Unlike other virtuosos which are incapable of progressing as they become older, Martha gives music a multi-faceted beauty that is hard to achieve when playing such pieces repetitively, according to the classical repertoire. I approve.
Thank you Tchaikovsky, very cool.
Hey are you who I think you are,the 9year old?
Nice take, Tchaikovsky.
Thank you Maestro Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, no one is more capable than Martha Argerich to play your Masterpiece
yooo its tchaikovsky hand me over the autograph
Performing since the age of 7. What a God given talent Martha Argerich!!!
She's still a whirlwind of talent. I think I was just inspired to listen to her Tchaikovsky Concerto. Thanks!!!
It’s wonder the ROC picked this as their national anthem. I’d be proud to hear this at the Olympics if I was Russian. A truly passionate and beautiful concerto!
For those who don't know: "She started playing the piano at age three. At the age of five, she moved to teacher Vincenzo Scaramuzza, who stressed to her the importance of lyricism and feeling. Argerich gave her debut concert in 1949 at the age of eight." (Wikipedia)
Knowing this I don't think I would have the temerity (or ignorance) to criticize her piano playing.
Well, almost all professional classical pianists have a similar story so why should she be an exception?
Togutas You have verifiable evidence that "almost all classical pianists have a similar story"?
In any event, I never said she was an exception. I merely quoted some biographical information for those people who want to post negative criticisms to think about their qualifications and skills before they start hitting the keys.
Ok I apologise. A debut concert at 8 is astounding. I somehow glossed over how remarkable that is.
Togutas No apology necessary. I didn't consider your comment offensive in any way. Have a great day and enjoy the classics as I do.
What are the qualifications of these people who criticize a superb performance?
This is her interpretation of what the composer wrote down under the direction of Charles Dutoit. These people are probably looking at her hands and not listening to the notes they are creating . . . .
This is the best and most important piano concerto ever composed. Change my mind.
I know you don't wanna hear this but I think Rach 2 and Rach 3 are better.
Only my opinion, of course I also respect your opinion.
Luca Klös Well, they are great too ;)
Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto 😢
@@Luca-yg5qx In no aspect Rach 2 and 3 are better than this concerto
@@Emilien-hy3sy Please elaborate. First of all, I'd be glad if you accepted that not everyone shares the same opinion as you, so saying "there's no way that the Rach concertos are better" is just ignorant. Secondly, I'm really interested in your reasons for saying that the Tchaikovsky is much better. In my opinion it is pretty weak compared to the other great concertos, especially the piano part. Rachmaninoff's however seem to be unmatched in perfection of melody, harmony, textures, orchestration and thematic development as well as evoking a feeling of pure passion. Once again, just my own opinion though.
I lost my 93-year old mother last year. One could say "we were prepared". There is not a day gone by I do not think about her every little move or gesture. It is not a heart breaking sadness. It is like a profound LOVE and care that crosses the boundary of life and death. I am no longer afraid of my own mortality. For the first time I feel there is someone on the other side waiting for me.
So my own Mather and father, RIP

So proud to be born in the same country as Martha Argerich. What a pianist!

Silviu Garet Well said Silviu!
Silviu Garet People like you never stop amazing me you have to call it like it is... as far as I know she is from the country of Argentina and you would say she is from where exactly? Please feel free to share.
she's universal my dear Alicia
You got Danny Barenboim also. What a country! PS: I love Argerich, Gilels, Rubinstein and Arrau also.
Funny thing is, Argerich (pianist) and Dutoit (conductor) were married from 1969-1973, divorcing 2 years before this concert. They continued to perform and record together obviously.
How is this funny
David Au yeung funny: curious; strange; peculiar; odd:
She left him because she found him with a violinist.
shouldnt shit where you eat.... specially if youre both like super talented. i wonder which of them both is more difficult to be around
definitely Martha, numerous divorces, abandoned all her kids for the music, etc... Great pianist, but terrible wife and mother. She sacrificed her chance at a family to become one of the greatest pianist.
I first heard this piece of music when I was about 9/10. I fell in love with it then. I'm 61 now. Still love it
She plays with all her heart, mind, body and soul. She becomes one with the music. I love to watch her face, also Charles while he's conducting.
Oh. My GOD.
HOW can people be so TALENTED????

B Ropous , because they are top notch professional musicians.
@@SarahJones-wy5us Actually that is not an answer. The reason why they are top notch professional musicians is because they are talented. Not the other way around.

Un' indimenticabile e brillantissima esecuzione di questo concerto. Che splendida artista, la Argerich! (E che splendida donna, tra l'altro!).
One of my favorite pieces, Martha , in my humble opinion is one of the best. Ño face grimaces, no tossing hair, no nudity. Just beautiful , professional making music
This is quite simply one of the best pieces in the world!
I can listen to that first minute of the 3rd movement forever... it's just so perfect.
For me the most beautiful orchestral piece ever made. Everything you hear is so powerful. The harmony is so outstanding arrange.
Que dire de plus sur cette vidéo ? Ce concerto avec Charles Dutoit qui assure un maximum à la direction face à Martha cette grande virtuose transcendantale, il faut admirer son jeu d'octaves aux deux mains qui est incroyable ! Je pense sans me tromper qu'elle fait partie des meilleures pianistes du monde! Bravo à l'orchestre et aux ingénieurs du son et image qui ont accompli un travail extraordinaire aussi.👏👏👏
I love this artist Martha Argerich. She is so talented as well as beautiful. She plays with her soul. There is no one in the word like her. I am honored to be able to listen to this piece by the world's greatest pianist!
it is good that we have all this great music. Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, brahms, Richard strauss, Stravinsky, bach, glass, and, of course, I could go on and on and on. we don't NEED to pick ONE and call them "the best"...this is a testament to the variations inherent in the human soul and experience...
+bckm54 I agree! This wonderful music is one of the most compelling examples of the kind of beauty human beings are capable of creating.
+bckm54 I consider your lack of Rachmaninoff disturbing.
Justin Burton Him too. :)
Mahler is one of those who will not find a place on MY list. Maybe on yours, just not on mine. :)
bckm54 awh how come?
He visto tantas veces éste concierto y no puedo dejar de emocionarme tanto. Martha Argerich es un orgullo tan grande de nuestra querida argentina.
Muy joven ahí y ya con esa técnica impecable.
She is beautiful !
Perfection from Martha full of command on the Piano 👍🏼.
Bravo to the Conductor also. He is so expressive especially at the end of the 1st movement, give me goosebumps.
There are many excellent interpretations and performances of this piece, but nobody has ever bested Martha.
The part where the piano joins the strings, sounds like the sunlight shining on the ocean
Que belleza!Gracias.

Well said!
Just remember that Tchay's mentor said that "this is is not music, that is vulgar music", glad he did'n burn the score😍😍😍
It's my dream to see this piece performed live. It's a very important piece to me, and I listen to it whenever I'm feeling really down. I think I would be crying in the theatre if I heard it in person, but ever since I first heard it, I knew this piece would be part of me forever.
I have to askr, where are you from ? I may take my circumstances for granted where a performance of this i secoondary, so forgive me
I’m going to see it performed live at St. George’s Hall, Bradford, Yorkshire, England tomorrow night. Feel privileged.

The keyboard tigress on the loose! The amazing thing about Argerich is that her technical accomplishments are achieved with without fuss or theatrics, in fact nonchalantly. The speed and precision of her double octaves for example is electrifying.
Having lauded her all encompassing technique, there is also an innate musical sensitivity and insight on display. A remarkable virtuoso whom is assured a place in annals of piano legends.

Nobody here has mentioned that Martha Argerich is a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where Daniel Barenboim was also born. The two pianists have even had presentations together. As a latin american I am certainly very proud. Regards from Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Jose Salame There are a whole series of events were Argerich and Barenboim are featured together. First you can see them both as young people beginning their careers and then today where the respect and love for each other . Oh, just noticed, conductor is her ex I think...well we all look different when we add 40 years. Both Martha and Daniel were gorgeous young people, I must say.
Y el padre de Daniel fue el primer maestro de piano de otro grande:Lalo Schifrin . Todos hoy tienen más de 70/80 años y tocan,componen, dirigen como si fueran más jóvenes. Ellos son ejemplos para aquellos que desprecian a los de la tercera edad!
Whenever I am listening to this, it takes me back to my childhood in the USSR - near every day the fragments of the Concerto were on TV! Even the main news Novosti would start with it! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Yes and how very ironic that Russia then and now are so proud of a gay man being one of the most homophobic countries on the planet.
Not news, Novosti, but time, Vremya. And it didn't start with Tchaikovsky, it was Pakhmutova "Time ahead".
Unforgettable ,for sure. Incredible genius of Tchaikovsky and the soloist too! I love this concerto!
Simply unbelievable ...
I never liked Tchaikovsky but listened to this because my wife told me that this was her prefered piece when she was young (in the meawhile we both have the 70 behind us) ... and I still do not like Tchaikovsky but once I started to watch Mrs Argerich I could not stop until the grand finale.
Thirty four minutes I had the impression that Tchaikovsky wrote this with the thought in mind "now lets see who can play this" and look - there are geniuses who play this - and not simply "play" - but with a tear causing virtuosity, with deep feeling paired with ultimate precision - and all this by heart
The miracle one must stop to consider when listening to and watching this performance is how Tchaikovsky came up with and decided on the placement in the score of each of the notes. Yes, this is a work we all have heard hundreds, perhaps thousands of times. Some may call it a warhorse, but there is no denying its majesty. No less incredible than this performance by M. Argerich is the genius behind the actual composition.
davidhertzberg y
exactly it actually pisses me off seeing someone who literally tries to act pretentious just because this is classical music. I guarantee that if he was on some other fcking video he wouldnt go around saying how the person who made the video is a genius and how he figures out how to fcking type on a keyboard.
Exactly..
A "warhorse" is such precisely because it is such great music that people want to perform it and hear it over and over again.
+soccer player without legs you make zero sense.
TROPPO BELLA......ANCHE QUESTO E' UN DONO CHE LA VITA MI HA CONCESSO......GRAZIE VITA!
To me, the greatest, living virtuoso pianist of the late 20th-21th Century!!
L' esecuzione della Argerich è decisamente la più coinvolgente che abbia mai ascoltato di questo brano.
Passione, pathos, romanticismo senza svenevolezze , una tecnica straordinaria e un senso di calore "mediterraneo" assolutamente unico.
