More genius than Argerich=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini! More powerful louder than Argerich=Mikhail Pletnev( Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The Second Loudest was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi! Horowitz his technique better than Argerich's technique! Argerich not the best genius! Argerich not the most powerful!

    Apart from the fact that every time I hear her play this (or anything by Prokoviev, or anything) I get chills, I am blown away by the way this particular concerto serves as an absolute display cabinet of all of Martha's technical skills, strength, touch, clarity, emotion, sensitivity to the orchestra, and on and on. This short work is art when done by her, and seems a bit less when done by others.

    • @francescoelia.marino

      Yes, absolutely. Same thing for me when I hear a piece of Beethoven executed by her. You think notes are notes but no, she can add something more to it and it is not well understood what that something else is. She is just amazing.

    • @prototropo
      @prototropo 3 роки тому +2

      And I agree as well. She collaborates so beautifully with the conductor, while other soloists can perform as if they were large, self-contained islands. And with her Magellanic approach, she manages to fashion entire continents out of the piano-which is already the “continent of the orchestra.”

Her recordings and performances of the Chopin e minor concerto, the Ravel, the Beethoven 1st and 2nd are sans pair and the list could go on and on. As Eduardo Delgado says, "es única."

  • @IMAWriterRobJ
    @IMAWriterRobJ 9 років тому +21

    The rhapsodic, almost improvisational nature of this most excellent concerto suit Ms Argerich just fine. This, along with her extraordinary performance (also on UA-cam) of the Shostakovich No 1 concerto for piano (and trumpet) are as entertaining to watch as they are to listen.
    Though not technically quite as pristine as she can be, she captures the youthful exhuberance of this piece. The "2nd movement"..of sorts...is, IMO one of the composers loveliest, and most evocative scores. The harmonies border on jazz before the 10 minute mark, and that almost "spooky" section at 10:30 has been imitated by several film composers, as much of this entire concerto has. It might be odd to say, but I enjoy this concerto every bit as much as the No 3. In some ways, it is No 3's companion, as is Shostakovitch's kindler and gentler No 2 piano concerto (written for his infant son Maxim) is to the composer's first Piano concerto.
    This is also a VERY fine video, with audio that, through my recording studio Monitors is demonstration worthy in it's balance and musicality.

I rate her above Artur Rubenstein, who I heard live in the Hollywood Bowl in my youth, then at Redlands University where I was a piano major. If only it had been Argerich.

      This is nothing, if you haven't heard Prokofiev's 2nd concerto, it is even more fiendishly difficult. Argerich herself won't touch it, I've heard. Prokofiev was a genius, he wrote this while still a student at the Conservatoire and he won the piano competition playing this - his own concerto. It was a case of "mud in your eye!" to most of the teachers who couldn't understand his modernist compositions.

    What a fascinating and unsettling piece of music. It sounds like what an alien who really wanted to sound like Tchaikovsky would compose. Even at this young age and musically inspired by a known master, Prokofiev just couldn't hide the fact that he was a true and original creative genius.

    Liszt would not have worn or needed the hair clip. He had a personal djinn to rake back and hold his mane. He turned the performing orientation of the piano to side view so the audience could see it.

    I listen to this repeatedly because of the remarkable microphonics which crisply capture elements of wit in both her performance and those of the distinct members of the orchestra that I've not heard in other very good recordings of this piece. Refrained motifs resonate from specific instruments with a clarity as startling as M A's gossamer, richly discordant undulations and sparks.

    Fantastic. Argerich makes it all look so easy even as her hands - to borrow a phrase from Steven Leacock - "gallop off in all directions". Phenomenal technique, but never JUST technique, always musical, spontaneous, passionate. Who is playing now to even compare?
    I have grown to love the effervescent, youthful exuberance of this piece - which I find every bit as approachable as the 3rd. Check out that cascade of Russian bells that the piano starts at around 14:40, continuing right through the coda / final statement of the opening theme! I can't imagine how anyone could not enjoy this concerto's lyricism, frantic energy and playful antics - but this audience! It feels like everyone is sitting with their arms folded, saying, "what the hell is this?" Maybe someone forgot to tell them that it's OK to enjoy a concert and not be so solemn... I mean, Prokofiev, never exactly shy and retiring, basically wrote this piece to give the middle finger to his teachers at the Conservatory - it's kind of like a musical "go f--k yourselves"!
