She's 24 years old here, and this is after at age 3.5 she began playing and taking lessons at age 5! At 8 she gave her first public recital! By the time of this video, 7 years prior, she had already won both the Geneva and Busoni competitions (3 weeks apart), 1st prize in both at the age of 16! (they don't allow pianists to compete at that age now) Then after failing to study with Horowitz, she took a 3-year hiatus from the piano and decided to not pursue a piano career! The wife of her old piano teacher, Askensae persuaded her to prepare and enter this most prestigious competition. In which she won, again, 1st prize. No kidding, here is the pianist of all pianists and she still rules at the top of her profession at age 81! Having survived cancer twice, the second time was nothing short of a miracle. We are in the presence of a goddess!
2:30 this is something outstanding. I dont think ill ever achieve something close to this. Ive never felt such ease during the playing. She press the keys so soft almost airy
In addition to her incredible speed and power on those double-octave passages, she has the most beautiful rendition of the cascades in the trio that I've ever heard; effortlessly feather-light and smooth, like a shimmering waterfall.
She wasn't joining the competition, it looked like she was giving a master-class lesson to the judges and audiences of how a great pianist should perform.
It's a very rare video. The video of Archerich participating in the Chopin Competition. I can't help but be surprised. Even now, her performance, which is still sophisticated and colorful, is probably ahead of its time. The way she plays the piano is so beautiful.
6:15 onwards and I’m dying. So good! I never heard this scherzo being played so effortlessly while each note and phrase keeps its meaning to the fullest.
Again this woman never fails to amaze me...her playing now is as impressive if not more today as it was then......she's a rare gem....please go see her live while you still can.....
Over 5k comments and all are glowing and positive. That is rare air and praise. Yes she is a Goddess. Clarity and tone and effortless playing w soft caressing of the notes. Zero forearm tension. Just a marvel. I think she is better than Horowitz IMHO.

Rosa Tamarkina hers Chopin scherzo no 3 More fierce and fire than Argerich's!
I used to have a friend who used to fancy her like mad. Looking at her in this I can see why. I have heard it said (by learned persons) that she is the greatest living pianist. She certainly has a wonderful technique.
She was immensely attractive. I saw her play the Grieg piano concerto at the Brangwyn Hall, Swansea in the sixties. A young raven haired beauty at the piano. On a radio broadcast over fifty years ago, I heard another great pianist, Julius Katchen, describe his young colleague as "A kind of sexy angel".
The end of this piece especially is such a majestic work of music, one of Chopin’s best, though currently I love his Opus 44 Polonaise, the mazurka part in the middle is just enchanting. Such a genius. If he had lived more than 39 years who knows what he would have brought to this world. Our loss.

Rosa Tamarkina hers Chopin scherzo no 3 More fierce and passion than Argerich! Horowitz his technique better than Argerich's technique!
Even then, she was one of the most amazing pianists. Several times over many years, I have heard something on the radio (Chopin Concerto in e, for example) and it had "something extra, something special". Those times it always turned out were her performances.
Martha absolutely overrated, she nothing compared with Alexei Grinuk very overrated, Gerade Linie playing without any emotions. She doesn't deserve to be alongside great pianists. Chopin overrated too
Another piece I could never quite grasp. It's enough to just watch her beautiful hands. Still, she has a way of conveying the meaning of a particular piece of music that just pierces the soul.
Superb and astonishing martha argerich remains up to this time the best pianist of all time on the level of musicianship as horowitch and rubenstein. I hope her the best health

since nobody wants to talk about how gorgeous she is here - understandably, as that would sully the conversation about her insane musical ability - I guess i'll have to do it

Oh, what a girl and whal a magical talent she is. She broke me many myths as a piano player in my youth. She was always excellent in whatever she played. Maybe the best piano player of all time. Martha, my dear...
She is a phenomenon! The kind of talent you don't see very often in a lifetime, which make her very special! . Great to see this performance thankyou for sharing !!
It's laughable to think that there were judges sitting there when she could play immeasurably better than each one of them! Does it really get better than this?! Her technique,in particular the octaves,was just perfect then.A great example for young pianists(and not-so-young!)to try and emulate. Zimerman is another one who does everything absolutely correctly.It's a pity there are no visual recordings of Lipatti.😊
Don’t badmouth the jury too much. I mean after all, they did give her the win. What an incredible woman she is, after almost 60 years, STILL being able to perform at this level.
"Does it really get better than this?!" Yes, for starters without making an elementary mistake of not phrasing the sigh motive in mm. 5-6. Then thinking it is an octave piece, rather than a music piece. Etc., etc.
@@RusskyVoyennyKorablIdiNakhui It’s a damned good thing I’m not as musically educated as you are or have as good an ear as you have or I might not be able to enjoy her performance as much as I do.

A real intellectual achievement as well to give such unity, grace and precission to this piece, one Chopin's most complex btw. Only one question is left : what would the composer himself think of this interpretation
Prior to this, Martha Argerich had not played piano for three years and had only returned to the piano for 6 months. Also, a year prior to this, she got pregnant by her friend Robert Chen; married him and shortly divorced him; then returned to her domineering mother in Geneva, where she gave birth to her first daughter. And yet, she still found the time to win the Chopin competition at age 24… again, all within one year. If that’s not talent, I don’t know what is. She truly is the queen of the piano!

До этого я ее не знал...Но вы простите меня, я не музыкант, а авиационный инженер..Я теперь ставлю Марту рядом с Беллой. Думаю, вы поддержите меня...
Martha and Yuga are just generational pianists. I think I have been given a great gift/blessing just watching and hearing them perform. I say this recognizing the wealth of pianistic talent that one hears in the world and on TH-cam. I guess it is similar to this idea Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart had, talking about defining pornography. Even though he can't adequately define it, he knows it when he sees it.
At least in Arthur Rubinsteins view this is the hardest Chopin piece. The maestro admitted he had to practise a lot for it. Young Martha is still in her comfort zone here. Guess she just could play anything at that age and still have reserves.
She's 24 years old here, and this is after at age 3.5 she began playing and taking lessons at age 5! At 8 she gave her first public recital! By the time of this video, 7 years prior, she had already won both the Geneva and Busoni competitions (3 weeks apart), 1st prize in both at the age of 16!

It’s all about relaxed wrists and hands. Wrists held high to facilitate chordal progression.
In addition to her incredible speed and power on those double-octave passages, she has the most beautiful rendition of the cascades in the trio that I've ever heard; effortlessly feather-light and smooth, like a shimmering waterfall.

They are not really difficult. They lie easily under the hands. Chopin knew what he was doing.

Maybe you should have that checked out by a doctor?
Meanwhile, in 2021, nearly 60 years after this competition, she's still touring, doing concerts. How is that humanly possible?
Well. She doesn’t really do much. Just sits there and wiggle her fingers.
On top of that, she's well known to pick and choose last-minute whether she actually wants to play that very day of the concert ;P

I guess it is similar to this idea Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart had, talking about defining pornography. Even though he can't adequately define it, he knows it when he sees it.
I was born four years later... wow
アルゲリッチというと、情熱的で激しい演奏のイメージがある。
だが、こうして改めて聴くと、むしろ鍵盤を軽く撫でるように奏でる弱音のフレーズこそ、彼女の真骨頂なのではないかと思われる。
「弾いている」のではなく、指先が鍵盤に触れれば自動的に音が出るのではないかと思われるほど、そしてほんの軽く撫でるそよ風のような音から、それが次第に激しくなって嵐に至るまで、いかようにでもピアノという楽器を操れる。
この時、確か２１歳。やはり非凡である。
Fabulous, just fabulous!!!
In the chorale section and the right hand playing not obvious notes but like a light rain.
At least in Arthur Rubinsteins view this is the hardest Chopin piece. The maestro admitted he had to practise a lot for it. Young Martha is still in her comfort zone here. Guess she just could play anything at that age and still have reserves.
It doesn't get any better...
Wow you play...❤❤❤i dont know this melody,but you play it❤
