Today is Martha’s 83rd birthday. Happy Birthday Martha, the greatest pianist ever. You have given so much joy to people everywhere all of your life. Eat a big piece of Birthday cake tonight for everyone who loves you.
The serene melody that repeats 3 times during the third* movement is transcendent in it's beauty. I'm biased because I like this song so much, but I believe that it is the single most beautiful melody that I've ever heard. edit: accidentally wrote 2nd
Anstatt zu Hause zu bleiben (sie gehört ja aufgrund ihres Alters zur Risikogruppe) hat sich Martha auf den Weg nach Hamburg gemacht (die Reisemodalitäten waren sicher auch nicht ganz unkompliziert) und diese Aufnahme gemacht. Das ist ein enormes Geschenk und es sollte NUR dankbar angenommen werden. Es ist unverständlich, wie man auf die Idee kommen kann, dieses video zu disliken. Es ist nicht selbstverständlich, dass jemand in diesem Alter diese Krise so unbeschadet übersteht und immer noch die Motivation und die Kraft hat zu musizieren (zudem auf so hohem Level) und dann auch noch Strapatzen auf sich nimmt, um seine Kunst mit der Welt zu teilen. Diese Aufnahme ist nicht nur eine kostbare Kunstprobe, sondern gibt gleichzeitig Hoffnung in dieser Zeit. Die Musik ist stark und man kann sie nicht zum Verstummen bringen. Sie hilft uns über Krisen hinweg und gibt Inspiration und Kraft. Ich wünsche Martha und uns allen, dass sie noch lange gesund bleibt und uns mit ihrer Musik glücklich machen kann. Liebe Martha, DANKE DIR VOM GANZEN HERZEN!!!!!
Krystian Zimerman wrote to Argerich to tell her that her interpretation of the Chopin sonata No3 (june 25 2021), this one, was the best interpretation he ever heard...
Son âge, comme vous dites, est l'âge où l'essence affleure, où il est à son point de tangibilité, où l'intangible devient tangible... bien sûr, l'agilité de ses doigts, de ses mains, de son corps où l'esprit parle encore et de la manière la plus vive, où l'esprit sait murmurer... chanter... cette prestation est un don précieux qu'elle nous fait... en temps de pamdémie !
I heard Rubinstein at Boston Symphony Hall when he was 90. The depth of these artists as they get older is astonishing. Crazy love Martha. The man who restored my Steinway knew her well and tuned for her. He is also an extraordinary pianist. He apprenticed at Hamburg Steinway and built his own concert grand. I am blessed.
Absolutely amazing - at 79 Martha is still one of the best pianists in the world! I actually enjoyed this performance more than some of her earlier performances of this Sonata.
yeah at this age she doesn't care anymore about who is the best musician or who has got the most perfect technique in the world. she already did everything in her early ages. and now she can only focus on the music and enjoy it. jealous!
One of greatest pianists of the 20th century. Was lucky to hear her at Carnegie Hall in New York in the early 1990s. Unbelievable. She is the Chopin master! Long live Martha!
The finest pianist ever. She feels the music always, her formidable technique serves the music. This playing has so much vigour and freshness, what a treat for Ms Argerich to perform for us during these troubled times. Listening to her playing makes everything alright in the world.
No tengo palabras para elogiar a Martha .Magnífica tecnica, fuerza , genio e interpretación. Parece mentira a su edad la potencia que tiene....increíble
More colorful beautiful piano sound than Argerich=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy! More Genius than Argerich=Sviatoslav Richter Grigory Sokolov( The Giant Of Piano! The Titan Of Piano!) Solomon Cutner( the best structure for music!) More Powerful Louder than Argerich=Mikhail Pletnev the most powerful ( Prokofiev Piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The second Loudest was Lazar Berman! Argerich not the best piano sound! Argerich not the best genius! Argerich not the most powerful!!
@@RaineriHakkarainenYour replys are always negative toward Martha. You always claim someone plays louder, better, more artistic. Why do you keep listening to her. Just to negate everything she does or plays? Move on. Find someone else to criticize. It is obvious you are in a minority here.
This performance is nothing short of miraculous. The way the music flows freely and naturally in her hands, her impeccable ear, her imagination, her absolute honesty and to her usual fire and power she has now added a stillness and depth which are deeply moving. I think there's no other performer in the world in any instrument I'm more in awe of than her. God bless you Martha. The hall may have been silent after your performance but Chopin was surely giving you a standing ovation up in Heaven.
Good to see Her again, Well & at Her Perpetual Best. I will never forget Her Legendary, 1965 recording of this. And here 55 Years later, The Passion, Romance, Dynamic & Stridency is All Here. Such A Treat & so rare to see her doing
A rare solo performance and indescribable treat from the greatest pianist since Horowitz. Thank you Mac McClure for somehow getting this reposted! I have been watching this moving performance every night before going to sleep. A most generous offering from Martha Argerich - healer of Souls. Thank you.
@Anton Razumov They're all excellent, but I think Martha, in her rather small repertoire, edges them out by quite a bit. Just a level of mastery and insight that's uncanny.
You probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
Martha is still the best ! Fantastic technique, but always very expressive in her playing. She has a depth and character in her playing that melts my soul.
Oh my my Martha , wonderful. We are about the same age and I grew up admiring your talent. I am also a pianist and I can see you matured so so much over the decades. Thank you.
She has that special magic to make the music alive. She doessso in everything she plays, but this piece has a special place in my heart and she sure knew how to unlock it. Thank you for this video..
It's my favorite as well. But the closest runner-up for me, in terms of the passion and emotion put into the piece, is by Olga Scheps. There's a fantastic video of her playing it here on youtube that I recommend.
I know that he is not as sexy as Argerich or Scheps, but Wilhelm Kempff recorded a wonderful rendition of this sonata for London Records. Give it a listen if you can.
Merci beaucoup pour le.partage de cette vidéo. J'adore depuis toujours la façon de jouer de Martha Argerich : sobre dans son attitude corporelle (pas de mouvements inutiles), sobre dans les expressions de son visage (pas de mimiques inutiles). Son jeu est tellement naturel et dégage maîtrise, facilité, fluidité, force et douceur. Ma pianiste préférée.
Sublime . It leaves one speechless. Martha is an eternal inspiration. This was an historical event and will become a prime example for the performance of this sonata.
One of the most deserved 3rd movments to a sonata. The fury is unleashed in a way that is so satisfying, given the build up of emotions in the first two movments.
Argerich plays maybe the best performance I've ever heard from her here in the Chopin B-Minor Sonata. I've heard all the greatest play this and this is perfection for my ear. She usually plays at too fast a tempo for my taste but not here. Absolute perfection. So beautiful. Thank You Mac for putting this up. What a treasure.
It's perfect! It's precisely balanced. It's of a mature and renewed virtuosity. It's undoubtedly a definitive interpretation. It's the pinnacle of her talent.
It's always a treat to watch Martha's hands when she plays. She violates every rule in the keyboard book. Her hands are fairly flat, and she often moves her hands at a 45 degree angle to the keys, not parallel to them. She also slaps notes here and there, and uses two fingers on a single key for emphasis. I had the pleasure of shaking her hand several years back. It felt somewhat large, and a bit worn like a factory worker or domestic housekeeper who works with her hands. But then, what does a pianist do but work with her hands for a living? After shaking a wide range of so many different kinds of accomplished pianists' hands, I came to realize that the type of hand is not so important, because it is the brain and the heart that actually play the piano.
There shouldn't be strict rules. Piano technique is correct until you have trouble with it, if she can play like that, then it's her correct technique (of course there are still some limits to that).
@@geschwitz4 Horowitz had very long, slim fingers, totally unlike Martha's. His hands were described as looking like a fine race horse when he was playing. But in fact, his fingers may have been too long, because I noticed that he had to arch his fingers a great deal when playing. Ideal keyboard hands are those which fit the ratio distance between the end of the white keys and the tops of the black keys without having to reconstruct hand shapes quickly. Regardless of hand and finger shapes, I've heard virtuoso piano playing come from little baby fingers, big thick fat sausage fingers, short stubby fingers, long skinny fingers, very feminine hands, rough tough macho hands the size of a catcher's mit, and everything in between...and at all ages.
Maraviloso, la aplaudo de pie. Gracias Marta Argerich por ésta refinada interpretación, que nos hace recordar que el arte siempre nos salvará. Ojalá esté muy bien de salud. Dios la bendiga.
Je sens un vent de liberté qui s'immisce entre les notes, qui traverse le jeu de la musicienne que seul l'âge et la confiance rendent possible. Elle n'a plus rien à défendre : elle joue. Si j'osais, je dirais qu'elle s'amuse. Cela me rend sa musique plus attachante que jamais.
Well, let's see the bright side: thanks to covid we can still enjoy a solo recital by Martha Argerich, given that it is many years that she only performs with orchestras!
@@alanleoneldavid1787 so? Playing Chopin's sonata is a solo recital to me, even if she also played chamber music with Capucon...and that does not happen with argerich recently
@@Ultrazone91 Right, it's a long time ago, Martha played solo without orchestra. Heard her in 1983 with Chopin first ballad and Schumann Kreisleriana ... unforgettable! 🥰 Since then "only" chamber-music and concertos for piano and orchestra - also wonderful, but still I would love to hear her in a solo-recital. ❤
Although that is mostly true, it's also worth noting that she has been playing the second Bach Partita and Schumann's Kinderszenen fairly regularly in concerts over the last 10-15 years or so. She also played Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit in 2017, and she continues to play a selection of short solo pieces as encores after concerto performances.
What!!!!!!!! omg I can't believe I'm listening to Martha play this sonata again...if you know her she only plays accompanied by the orchestra and she occasionally gives one or two short encores. This is magnificent...I'm so excited !!!!!!
Wish I could afford to travel and see her ... Wish I could go see her throughout my entire life. She’s the most amazing woman alive to me, and I’d highly doubt I will ever get to go see her play.
Jouer comme on respire ! L'immense talent de Martha Argerich s'efface devant la sensibilité, la rêverie et l'emotion suscitées par cette sonate ! Ce jeu toujours renouvelé est la marque de cette artiste qui ne cesse de nous enchanter et nous surprendre ! Sans aucun doute La pianiste de la fin du XXeme et de ce debut de XXIeme ! Il faut l'avoir entendue sur scène pour connaître la joie de la musique ! Merci , Madame Argerich, et continuez à nous épater !
romadrina pensé exactamente lo mismo. Tan Bella Martha. Tocando para nosotros sabiendo que no podemos estar allí para aplaudirla pero igual entrega una versión magistral de la sonata. Y esa mirada al final, como dices, arropa toda la tristeza que embarga al mundo. Martha es una Milonga hermosa.
Martha! Her Chopin is wonderful, but there are a hand full other Worldclass Pianists. Her BACH, her Prokofjew, her RAVEL are unique; here she is the best ever, the best of all times.
Bravo et un immense merci plein d'émotions, Martha, pour ces notes si bien posées qui me rappellent les innombrables répétitions de ma mère sur cette même oeuvre ainsi que d'autres, qui ont accompagné mon adolescence et mes premières années d'étudiant. Que de bien bons souvenirs d'émotions romantiques et d'admiration. Encore un très grand merci !
La "compañera" Argerich le entrega su legado a la humanidad en momentos de tanto pesar y angustia. (Un argentino orgulloso de haber compartido su patria y su tiempo).
Amazing! Having always recognised her brilliance and rightful place in the top branches of performing arts, Martha's Chopin has never really done it for me; I always felt she was rushing the tempi and not allowing the music time to breathe but here and now she seems to be doing just that, with a more thoughtful and measured reading of this sonata. Long may she continue to move us.
Es increíble lo mucho que puede transmitir la música sin tener palabras. No hace falta más que un buen intérprete, un público atento, y la armonía sale por sí sola :) Como pianista principiante, qué maravilla, qué inspirador.
Ce qui me fascine chez Argerich, chez toutes grandes interprètes d'ailleurs, c'est qu'elle saisit le lien interne de chacun des mouvements entre eux, elle saisit l'unité de l'oeuvre, de sorte que l'ensemble est harmonieux, si bien que nous, les auditrices, sommes conviées à demeurer tout le long au coeur battant de l'oeuvre au lieu d'en lâcher le fil.
No, nothing to do with that, at least not this time 😊 They was staged and recorded in the midst of the lockdowns. The musicians nevertheless traveled and the hall hosted this uplifting event to delight us for years to come.
Of course it is always with pleasure that I listen to Martha playing this marvelous Chopin sonata magnificently. Especially since she decided not to play solo anymore. But hey, I would have preferred her to play us a work that she hasn't played as often. Why not one of Beethoven's last sonatas like Opus 111 for example?
@@MarkFarago OK for Chopin. But in this case why not the polonaise op 44, the 1st ou 4th scherzo, the 2nd or 4th ballade, some nocturnes or etudes she has not already played ?
Today is Martha’s 83rd birthday. Happy Birthday Martha, the greatest pianist ever. You have given so much joy to people everywhere all of your life. Eat a big piece of Birthday cake tonight for everyone who loves you.
Not the greatest pianist ever there are many great pianists who have never been recorded like Liszt and Alkan

Haha good question.
that's what makes her so special. even Horowitz couldn't keep his best condition at this age
But that might be due to illness and medication.

素晴らしいの一言につきます。さすが世界一のピアニストの真骨頂の演奏を聴くことが出来、感動です。有り難うございました。
La "compañera" Argerich le entrega su legado a la humanidad en momentos de tanto pesar y angustia. (Un argentino orgulloso de haber compartido su patria y su tiempo).
Sí, pero de compañera no tiene nada eh.
@@HJKey le debe a Perón sus inicios.
Si no era Perón igualmente hubiera triunfado. Gracias a Dios
久々にアルゲリチのソロが聴けた。ピアノを少しかじった素人にとって、暗譜してることでさえ驚愕。しかも非常にコントロールされた多彩な音色となによりもショパン音楽の肝である、歌うこと、が究極の形になって紡がれていく。ほんと超ド級の天才だわ。
Omg. What a performance! I could hear huge applause 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 out side the hall around the world!!
I went to sleep and woke up during this one. Am I alone. She played so good for so long
When listening to pieces like this, the feeling of being alone shades, music impersonates and gives you company.
Amazing! Having always recognised her brilliance and rightful place in the top branches of performing arts, Martha's Chopin has never really done it for me; I always felt she was rushing the tempi and not allowing the music time to breathe but here and now she seems to be doing just that, with a more thoughtful and measured reading of this sonata. Long may she continue to move us.
Chopin played fast according to Mendelssohn.
Truly amazing and beautiful.
Martha took all first grand piano prizes and plays from memory all compositions of all classical composers.
Astonishingly beautiful playing.
Im crying, it is incredible
This sonata is so extremely beautiful
Es increíble lo mucho que puede transmitir la música sin tener palabras. No hace falta más que un buen intérprete, un público atento, y la armonía sale por sí sola :)
Como pianista principiante, qué maravilla, qué inspirador.
A magic performance in an empty hall, it's something spectral.
She is venus of piano!
On retrouve la version au disque de 1965. Exceptionnel.
Ce qui me fascine chez Argerich, chez toutes grandes interprètes d'ailleurs, c'est qu'elle saisit le lien interne de chacun des mouvements entre eux, elle saisit l'unité de l'oeuvre, de sorte que l'ensemble est harmonieux, si bien que nous, les auditrices, sommes conviées à demeurer tout le long au coeur battant de l'oeuvre au lieu d'en lâcher le fil.
She is definitely one of the best Her solo is rare except some encore pieces. I really hope she plays more solo pieces.
Люблю эту сонату в исполнении Марты Аргерих❤
Magnifique que de grandeur d âme qui allie la rigueur au dialogue si parfaitement pur
Elle est extraordinaire !
No audience, it figures. Her stage fright is legendary.
No, nothing to do with that, at least not this time 😊
They was staged and recorded in the midst of the lockdowns. The musicians nevertheless traveled and the hall hosted this uplifting event to delight us for years to come.
Et voilà, une fois de plus, après avoir écouté Martha je ne peux plus écouter personne d’autre...
Je pense plutôt que vous avez jamais écouté personnes d'autres .
Magnífica versión , Martha !
Una técnica brillante al servicio de una profunda expresividad
Excelente Chopin
Oh my gosh!!! A solo recital after 1000 years? And a tough Chopin to boot! I'm still hoping she would play Beethoven's 4th and 5th concertos.
MERCI MARTHA !!! Grandiose .
There's all other pianists and there's Martha. The only one!
This is far from being the best she can do. Last movement is labored.
Wonderful performance! Martha Argerich overcoming her aversion to performing solo in the audience-free COVID-era?
love the madam's vibe, pure soul
I see Martha is still wearing her goodfortune bracelet she was given long ago. I guess it works. Great playing. Thats a Gorgeous jacket. 👏
Of course it is always with pleasure that I listen to Martha playing this marvelous Chopin sonata magnificently. Especially since she decided not to play solo anymore. But hey, I would have preferred her to play us a work that she hasn't played as often. Why not one of Beethoven's last sonatas like Opus 111 for example?
@@MarkFarago OK for Chopin. But in this case why not the polonaise op 44, the 1st ou 4th scherzo, the 2nd or 4th ballade, some nocturnes or etudes she has not already played ?
