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
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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
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.....
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.
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 !!
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.
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
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
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
Not True! More beautiful colorful piano Sound than Argerich=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Artur Rubinstein Radu Lupu Vladimir Ashkenazy!

More Genius than Argerich=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Alexei Lubimov Stanislav Igolinsky!
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.
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.

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
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...
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!
A virtual masterclass in proper hand position, a wonderful artistic statement and ... I'll take the Mad Men era polka dot dress and modest heels over the miniskirt and stilletos any day.
Aside from being one of the very greatest pianists of our time, she us very intelligent and has led an interesting life. Fortunately, there are a few extended interviews with her on Yourtube.

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.
Will never understand why she didn't record the Chopin Etudes, both sets. Or the remaining five J.S. Bach Partitas or the remaining five English Suites. Or the French Suites. Etc.
She was asked once why she didn't record all of Chopin and she gave the most logical answer you can think of - she said she doesn't like everything he wrote and she doesn't want to play the pieces she doesn't like. :-)
Péter Kiss I remember leopold auer having said something like “you have too keep practicing and working with the composition until it becomes beautiful“ to his students in russia. And he did have some marvelous students. That said, going with what you like makes sense.
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.
Qué sonido;;; que buen uso de la técnica;;; hace música como si el Piano fuera un juguete para ella;;;cada vez me recuerda más a mi hija;;;son gemelas de la buena interpretación;;;Felicitar es poco;;;

EXACTLY !!!
That's what I want to say, bro.
She is hor concurs. Can not be fair to the rest of the pianists for her to compete

The greatest of all instruments, the greatest of all pianists. How does this world deserve such beauty?
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
Surely, you can't be serious, Mr. Cohiba?
@@howardchen5611 Yea, and that’s why she never signs a contract.....but they still book her. Now why is that you might ask?
@@mrcohiba1662 yes
Martha performed this Chopin note with confidence and feeling. From a young age she had passionately developed the study of great composers.
Qué virtuosa. Y para más, uno de los rostros más bellos concebidos.
Bueno, actualmente esta llena de arrugas, porque nada dura para siempre. Lo que sí se conserva intacto es su espíritu musical ysu energía
