She's about the only pianist I can think of who has the fingers and the temperament to play Schuman's crazy tempo markings ("faster", "even faster", and "still faster") in tempo...and she practically paints the slow movement, so beautifully is it played; from both a technical and musical perspective, this performance is unprecedented...
there os not something technical and musical point of view...Thechnic is part of music,unseparable,what is technic? Only that time during the practice work,but finaly,there is no technical aspect...
Martha perfectly captures the mind-bending, hallucinatory turbulence within this astounding work. Everybody else seems to be playing notes in quick succession, which is merely the first requirement.

I hadn't really heard much of Martha Argerich's playing but was always entranced by her sultry beauty. But I happened upon this video and...holy cow! Holy moly! Gadzooks! Gosh! Blimey! Geez Louise! Gads! Oh, man! Oh! What a recording! The first movement alone was a stunning tour-de-force and/or Tour de France of flyin' fingers on fire! Seriously, absolutely incredible pianism. But then even more surprising and "jaw dropping" in its way is the hushed beauty of the second movement. Absolutely exquisitely played! I always knew that Martha Argerich had "technique to burn," but I now see (hear) that she can play with the greatest beauty and depth of feeling. Extraordinary! Why hasn't she recorded many solo piano albums? Another recording of hers that I came across a year ago or so was her recording of the Brahms B-minor Rhapsody Op. 79 no. 1. It is also extremely beautiful and the way she ends it especially so: ua-cam.com/video/VchnVmlYI04/v-deo.html
Sorry to be late in responding! I didn't get any "notifications" from UA-cam or at least I didn't notice any. To answer your question, no, I haven't heard her in Rach 3. Maybe I should give her recording a listen. I actually grew up hearing Rach 2 and Rach 4 more than Rach 3. I don't know why Rach 4 doesn't seem to be played very often--I love it! (Even if the slow movement seems to echo "Three Blind Mice"!) In Rachmaninoff, I'm generally a big fan of Horowitz's recordings. But then again, if forced to make a choice, I choose "hot-blooded" passion over "icy" precision. Speaking of Rachmaninoff, Edgar Self (the wonderful gentleman who used to work in the classical recordings part of Tower Records in Chicago) gave me Rustem Hayroudinoff's CD of the Rachmaninoff Preludes, saying he thought it was the best recording he'd ever heard of the Preludes. I haven't heard that many recordings of the "Rachy" Preludes, but I agree that Rustem Hayroudinoff's recording is fabulous! Thanks for bringing up Martha Argerich's recording of the Rach 3 Concerto--I'll give it a listen! And, just for grins, here's Cyprien Katsaris playing (wonderfully!) an etude by Bortkiewicz that you might like: ua-cam.com/video/gkjb6INBbL8/v-deo.html
Dear user ArgerichHD, "Andantino. Getragen ("worn"--there could not be a more appropriate marking for this movement)". Indeed "Getragen" means worn in German, but in musical terms it should be translated as "Solemn". Martha Argerich is a Goddess. Incredible version.
Listening to this knockout performance of a notoriously crazy knockout piece, while I meditate on the picture of the lady pianist who did this - definitely a beautiful sombre knockout in her prime - just knocks me out and my socks off.
Thanks for uploading this masterpiece and out-of-this-world performance. Just to point out German "Getragen" only ever means "worn" in the context of clothes. It does not have the same figurative connotation. In music (or generally mood/atmosphere) it translates to solemn, carried, measured. Which is oddly indecisive here. It's like "Andantino ma non troppo".
Clara was noted for her technical dexterity and this is one of the reasons for the markings. He dedicated it to a past friends, Henrietta Voigt, and Clara loved it; "I love it as I love you."
The slow mvt is the equal of anything else ever composed. With just a handful of opening notes “Clara Schumann’s husband” brings us into a whole world.
Excellent recording. Usually I would bash Argerich for having absolutely no respect for the time signatures especially in the first movement but... Schumann did mention "as fast as possible" so... brava Argerich!
The performance is about perfect, as i can imagine, however, it's Schumann, who i do not understand. Why is that first movement "so rasch, wie möglich" ? I feel like it should be just an Allegro appassionato...
In my opinion,as beautiful as some of Robert Schumann's works are,they all seem to have passages of mental instability within them. To me,this work represents Schumann's uncontrollable racing thoughts.
Merci Pat de m'avoir envoyé une copie depuis B-A ( Argentine du Nord )... Manque de bol c'était pas la bonne tonalité ( brune pouff ! ) Besos qd même ( the Leman kleine green fischer ... named Lionel ... Humpf )
I got this sheet music at a thrift shop for a dollar and brought it home and played it through, and I didn't like it. My mom who had been listening in the other room said it had a lot of feeling, which was news to me. To me it just made me nervous so loud and rushed, the only thing it made me feel was irritated. so I thought I'd come on here and listen to somebody famous play it. I still feel annoyed by the majority of the piece, but that second movement, it is just the most wonderful thing under Martha's fingertips.
Sometimes I forget just how tremendous Martha Argerich truly is, then I find a video like this and I’m blown away all over again.
She is one of a kind
"as quickly as possible" - "faster" - "faster still" - ideal for Argerich!
Take a look at the last movement of Mahler 9, the same stuff only in reverse, immer langsammer, noch langsammer, immer noch langsammer,etc.
And what's the point? For me personally, Argerich fails to answer that question often.
@@shawnmand5607 quite so
She brings an enlightened sense of voicing to this piece.Schumann would be delighted!!
Her playing on the Andantino is exquisite, full of pathos, yearning and roundness of tone. A lyrical tour de force.
She's about the only pianist I can think of who has the fingers and the temperament to play Schuman's crazy tempo markings ("faster", "even faster", and "still faster") in tempo...and she practically paints the slow movement, so beautifully is it played; from both a technical and musical perspective, this performance is unprecedented...

Martha perfectly captures the mind-bending, hallucinatory turbulence within this astounding work. Everybody else seems to be playing notes in quick succession, which is merely the first requirement.
"As quickly as possible
-Okay
-Faster.
-Wait. What?
-Faster!
-But...
-FASTER!"
Martha: "Hold my beer."
Oh boy. She definitely earned her reputation with this recording.
Martha Argerich's portrait and piano-performance are very unique and awesome. Enjoying her piano concertos make me feel pleasurable.
- Schumann, how fast should I play this piece?
- Yes.
As fast as you can. Ask Martha!!🙂
As quickly as you can, without sacrificing articulation and phrasing - in short, while under control. Hoomeyow!!
No, twice as fast as you can
Thank you, Lia, for this delicious morsel of wit (so apt) - you made my afternoon!
My jaw dropped at the coda of the 1st Mvt. How could she play faster than she was already? And it was perfectly clear--every note!
This is by far the best recording of this piece. Just blown away - mezemrizing!
The best performance of this work I've ever heard!
Que veux tu dire espèce de pied nickelé verdâtre .... Mine is slightly better ( but not too much ... i work still hard for pulverize my own record ... Working pulverizing Fredo's pif - lol )
Not Fredo, Gilbert sorry, the blindy and funny semi blues man semi crooner woman ( re lol )
Richter has her beat by a mile. Some of her passages are too rushed. Richter is sublime.
And Arrau is still better. The best.

Have you heard her play Rach 3? It's stellar.

or "carried"
locura, genialidad, inestabilidad, maestría, don, virtud, no se puede encasillar una obra tan grande ni tan grande compositor
This sonata shows that Schumann was a great composer.
Listening to this knockout performance of a notoriously crazy knockout piece, while I meditate on the picture of the lady pianist who did this - definitely a beautiful sombre knockout in her prime - just knocks me out and my socks off.
How fantastic is that. That’s as good as piano playing gets.
There's no better than Martha on this one.
Very nice sound!...This sonata was surely a heavy metal music for audience in XIX century...
lol
no
"heavy metal" is a sad, sad XXI-century disease. Schuman only composed music.
for sure hahaha, it definitely sets itself apart from other pieces at that time
Essa sonata é um espelho da minha alma...... apaixonada, louca e melancolica......
She's the best!
I can't wait for Wim Winters' tempo reconstruction of this!
Lmao

THE best performance of this piece. Hard to find a copy for a reasonable price. It's coupled with the Liszt B Minor Sonata, also a great performance.
Beautiful performance.
鋼のようなテクニック。まさに超絶技巧
Wow phenomenal! Wonderful!
Clara was noted for her technical dexterity and this is one of the reasons for the markings. He dedicated it to a past friends, Henrietta Voigt, and Clara loved it; "I love it as I love you."
너무 좋다. My heart is fluttering.
Inigualable, Martha: Carácter, contraste y fuego sinperder jamás la línea melódica.
Musica stupenda e pianista straordinaria|
Unbeliavable!
Merci Matha ! J'avais besoin de Fuego !
This is a very turbulent piece, capturing Schumann's extreme emotional range: It is supposed to make us nervous and anxious.
..Then you listen to Mozart in G minor...
No not at all.
Incredible beautiful!
Pure genious! Love her!
I wish I could see her in Seoul.
Amazing
Beleza, encantamento!!!!
Lovely
I'm sorry but there are not any
women anywhere in the same
league as this today
Phenomenal technique!!
Why are you limiting your comment to women? Why not say “pianists” as that is the truth.
Cómo siempre excelente!!
Grande carica emotiva, esattamente
"Getragen" does NOT mean "worn" (like in "worn out"), but "solemn", resp. "stately" [pace]
I think it's the equivalent for "sostenuto", but my german is better than my italien ;)
Zeratok Elfmann
"sostenuto" is correct
Rizzo Chuenringe I would say carried is a good soloution
一番好きな演奏。
打鍵が明瞭かつ強靱で、若きArgerichの才気ほとばしる演奏。70歳過ぎのバッハのBWV826 Capriccio の軽妙な演奏と比較すると興味深い。
So energetic.
goosebumps!
Eccezionale !!!
hard drug for ears
🎉❤😊
とても美しい音色‼︎
私もそう思います。とくに二楽章、非常に美しいです！
Really cool. Thank you, for uploading this video. But what is getragen?
How can anyone possible dislike this gem?
Bravo !!!
Que maravilla ...!
esa francesa que conoci aquella vez, me toco esa hermosa sonata de schumann!!!
She is made for this piece... fast and furious
The slow mvt is the equal of anything else ever composed. With just a handful of opening notes “Clara Schumann’s husband” brings us into a whole world.
Love Schumann
She was young
Pensar que toquei essa sonata no último ano do curso superior de piano da Escola de Música e Belas Artes do PR. Difícil. Linda!
Que maravilha. Que ano? Passei toda minha adolescência em Curitiba e ia aos recitais no Solar do Barao e aas vezes na Belas Artes.

Noch noch schneller...*sets the speed to 'double' on UA-cam*
Lol 😂
This should be compared with Richter's version in Milan 1962.
Testimony of painful psychosis , lethal war between tons of genius and hundred missiles of coming madness .
Oh, do you start again with your negatives ? Please be a little more positive, please. Try it somewhile...
They recently found a tumor in the base of his skull accounting for some of his madness.
Excellent recording. Usually I would bash Argerich for having absolutely no respect for the time signatures especially in the first movement but... Schumann did mention "as fast as possible" so... brava Argerich!
so many marvellous parts and a few missed points
Mis-Translated ... German "getragen" does not mean "worn" in this context. It is more like "drawling" and does not mean depressed or so
The performance is about perfect, as i can imagine, however, it's Schumann, who i do not understand. Why is that first movement "so rasch, wie möglich" ? I feel like it should be just an Allegro appassionato...
que linda foto de martha, que lindo tocas el piano, que linda es tu vida...
Danke für's hoogladen ! Macht mich froh....

I wonder if this is how Schumann really mangled his fingers...
No, he did with a mechanical device.
Amazing piece! But why, seriously, a picture where she's cross-eyed? xD Hahaha q=

תודה פסנתרנית אדירה עוקב אחריה יש לי הקלטות שלה אחת האחרונות עם בארנבוים
Those who criticize her 1st movt of being too fast and lacking emotion...listen to this movement. I love how Argerich can be bipolar in her tempo. lol
+jjg7 Sorry I meant the 2nd movt in my earlier comment
@@jjg7 The 2nd movement is extraordinary. When she reins it in, her playing is wonderful.

wow you can sight read that easily? wow I need more practice. You must be grade 8+++
Michael Cataluna I don't really know what grade I am. I never took lessons.
archcorenth so you're purely self-taught? I'm self-studying piano at the moment. May I ask for any sight reading tips?
i guess I would recommend playing Etudes. They usually have one thing to teach you and have fingering written down.
Only the registration qualità Is not good.. the piano sound Is quite Mute
genia
Agerich plays this piece as well or almost as well as Perahia which is really saying something. a tour De force for sure.
is it only me that i feel....it is a little messy somewhere.. I know schumann put crazy speed mark in this piece...but is it supposed to be?
for me, Argerich played it perfectly and schumann wrote it perfectly.
Agree. This movement is not supposed to sound soft and calm. Its agitated given the speed
