Martha Argerich (piano)About
Taken from radio recordings made in Berlin and Cologne in 1959 and (mainly) 1967, here is over an hour of newly-discovered Martha Argerich solo recordings of Chopin, all released for the first time and including works otherwise not recorded by her.
From her epic first Ballade to the overpowering live Third Sonata - with exquisite performances of Mazurkas and Nocturnes in between - the recital demonstrates what a force of nature she already was in her first decade on the international music scene - “a veritable powerhouse of the emotions”, as Jürgen Otten writes in his liner notes.
“Not only one of the most talented virtuosi of her generation, she can do what at most only a dozen pianists in the world are capable of.” – Joachim Kaiser (Süddeutsche Zeitung, 1967)
