Maurice Ravel - La Valse
Watch the whole concert: • Video
Martha Argerich (born June 5, 1941) is an Argentinian-Swiss pianist, widely regarded as one of the greatest pianists of the second half of the 20th century.
Argerich was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her paternal ancestors were Catalonians based in Buenos Aires since the 18th century. Her maternal grandparents were Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire, who settled in Colonia Villa Clara in the Entre Ríos province-one of the colonies established by Baron de Hirsch and the Jewish Colonization Association. [...] The family moved to Europe in 1955, where Argerich studied with Friedrich Gulda in Austria. Juan Perón, then the president of Argentina, made their decision possible by appointing her parents to diplomatic posts in the Argentine Embassy in Vienna.
Argerich rose to international prominence when she won the seventh International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1965, at age 24. In that same year, she debuted in the United States in Lincoln Center's Great Performers Series. In 1960, she had made her first commercial recording, which included works by Chopin, Brahms, Ravel, Prokofiev, and Liszt; it received critical acclaim upon its release in 1961. In 1967, she recorded Chopin's Polonaise, Op. 53. [...] Argerich is also famous for her interpretation of Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3, Ravel's Piano Concerto in G, and Bach's Partita No. 2 in C minor, which she has recorded several times and continues to perform. [...] Her aversion to the press and publicity has resulted in her remaining out of the limelight for most of her career. Nevertheless she is widely recognized as one of the greatest pianists of her time.

Nelson Freire (born October 18, 1944) is a Brazilian classical pianist. Freire began playing the piano at age 3. He replayed from memory pieces his older sister, Nelma, had just performed. His teachers in Brazil were Nise Obino and Lucia Branco, former students of a pupil of Liszt. For his first public recital, at the age of four, Freire chose Mozart's Sonata in A major, K. 331.
In 1957, Freire's performed Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5, at the age of 12. He was awarded 7th place at the Rio de Janeiro International Piano Competition. He subsequently received a Brazilian government grant to study in Vienna with Bruno Seidlhofer. By 1964, Freire had won his first prize at the Vianna da Motta International Music Competition in Lisbon, Portugal (ex-aequo with Vladimir Krainev) and he also received the Dinu Lipatti Medal and the Harriet Cohen Medal in London, England. In December 2001, he chaired the jury for the Marguerite Long Competition in Paris. His debut at The Proms was in August 2005.
In general, Freire tends to avoid the limelight, publicity, and interviews. However, in 2011, Freire withdrew from a scheduled engagement with the Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira (OSB) and conductor Roberto Minczuk, in support of the orchestra musicians, following the dismissal of about 3 dozen OSB musicians by Minczuk.

RIP Nelson Freire, one of the best recordings of Ravel: La Valse with his best friend Martha Argerich
Exactly ❤!
Indeed!
I lost track of how many times I’ve watched this video since I first heard of Nelson’s death. He seemed eternal onstage. I just can’t believe he is gone 💔
R.I.P🙏
In Paris, Marta lived next door, literally, of Nelson’s apartment/house. Just feet across a garden inside a building in the 16eme arrondissement. That’s how close spiritually and artistically they were. RIP Nelson Freire.
Nelson Freire, Rest In Peace, Poet of Music! 🌹
La lionne et le leopard ! Fantastique interprétation de la valse de Ravel ! Ces deux genie du piano étaient faits pour se rencontrer et se reconnaître !
RIP Monsieur Nelson Freire, un des plus fabuleux pianistes de notre époque avec Martha Ärgerich, tout aussi merveilleuse ! Et quelle superbe complicité et harmonie 💖💖
We will always remember you Nelson!
This is the best work of Ravel for me as it shows tension and unique bizarre melody themes with atonal harmony!
RIP Nelson Freire. All prayers and respects due to his big family who got left by this amazing man. God bless them abundantly always.!
And Misha Maisky turning pages for Argerich.
+Titida Titida Yes, very special indeed. Hard to imagine such high-level musician doing this today.
That was so gracious of him. Mind you you'd expect he'd be a very reliable page turner hehe
🤭🤭🤭
May your soul rest in peace, Maestro Freire
Soulmates making magic.
Lembrando Guimarães Rosa; " As pessoas não morrem, ficam encantadas" . Um momento encantador. Obrigado por compartilhar.
Descanse em Paz, Nelson Freire! Um grande pianista que me inspirou na minha adolescência!
11:00: and piano keys exploding in a Vals blast, like bombs in the I W W...awesome performing of two legends...
Two of the best pianists ever.
Argerich-Freire, one of the most epic pairings in the history of music. Bonus on this video--the cellist Mischa Maisky serving as page-turner for Martha.
Maestro Freire, já tenho saudade. Que Deus o tenha num lugar maravilhoso.
What an incredible sound! My favourite ever!
Bravíssima interpretação dos lendários pianistas Nelson Freire e Martha.Desde incontáveis vezes que ouvi essa interpretação não há resquícios de dúvidas que é a melhor interpretação dessa peça assustadora e linda
amazing. R.I.P Nelson Freire
Maravilha ouvir mais uma vez esta magnifica interpretação de Argerich&Freire. RIP Nelson.
Grandiosi anche nella Valse di Ravel e ascoltati in duo più volte!
Dois gigantes do piano.
Полный восторг!!!
J'adore cette musique ! Quand je pense que j'ai eu le plaisir d'écouter Argerich en personne en jouant justement cette pièce !
OMG! Sublime, absolutely mesmerizing!
wow -ein optimum an eleganz, exstase, (s)exzentrik, narkotisierend letalem taumel sowie aber auch ............: außerordentlicher schönheit ! ganz fabelhaft!!!!!!
Incredible!
Melhor "match" de Argentina com Brasil que já houve na história.

I really love this.
BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks !
Wow ! Great ! Thank you for posting !
Fabuloso !!!
Freire e Argerich!!!
Pra q mais? (além de Ravel, é claro)
Duas legendas.!!🇧🇷🇮🇹
Maurice Ravel is smiling so much
That smile @ 09:32 is priceless...!
Muhteşemsiniz...
So vividly captures Ravel's intensely felt, even savage, irony. Penetrating!
Bravíssimo
Freire klangkultur ist Wunderbar,BRAVO Argerich.
Quelle beauté Martha...
The Very Best
Los maestros
That line beginning from 10:08 always gets me, whatever the version.
5:48 Sounds like a string breaks!
Miraculous couple
이 연주가 제일인듯
What happened at 5:49?
yeahh.. wtf was that?
A broken string I suppose...
For me it sounds like broken glass, she makes a grin of pain and then looks up.
@@lospazio ...and if you listen carefully, you can hear it buzzing against the others here and there!
5:48
Am I mistaken, or did Ravel actually write this only for two hands, and not four? Which means someone (one of the pianists?) had to transcribe it for two?
He wrote for orchestra, there were later transcriptions to piano for 2 and 4 hands
@@rafffa26 No, it's the contrary : first version pour 2 hands, and later 4 hands and finally for orchestra.
What they play here is not a version for four hands, but for two pianos, which is not the same.
@Egg MCMUFFIN What?
The story of this composition can be found on Wikipedia. In a nutshell, Ravel wrote the orchestral version first, originally called it "Vienna", and conceived it as a ballet. The version for 2 pianos was written as a reduction for demonstration and rehearsal purposes.
The ballet idea misfired, almost prompting a duel between the composer and Diaghilev, who said that this piece was not suitable for a ballet, and refused to do the choreography.
Ravel eventually gave in, changed the name from the original "Vienna" to "La Valse", and wrote the version for piano solo. BTW, the lore that Ravel intended this piece to be a musical satire about post-WW I Vienna is an urban legend, and was already debunked by the composer himself. He simply liked the late 19th century Vienna style waltz. Unfortunately many pianists -including the new generation- play it like a bad scherzo. This version is an exception.
I didn't realize Mischa was turning pages for her LOL
5:49 did a string break?
Is Martha's page turner Mischa Maisky? lol
Yes, certainly
5:48 am i mistaken or a piano rope broke here?
Impossible! Unplayable! It's a Trick! BRAVI ad ENTRAMBI di Acapulco!
You know she's SIGHT READING!!!
I tried waltzing to this. It was a disaster. What did I do wrong?
glenn gould owns this with a single piano version
Battle of the sexes 😘🎹. Actually they're both winners in their own rights and for me too. How wonderful are the works of God!
the last two measures are incorrect rhythmically
oh no
Or sounds that way. Even though it's a quarter note quadruplet, their tempo has gotten so fast at that point that it sounds like it could be eighths!
Marta didn't sawp roles? Ever?
マルタは顔を曇らせました。
弦が切れる音は少し彼女を不機嫌にするようだ。
not everyone is capable of playing it. few pianists/conductors can understand this piece. I can only hear noise and chaos here. this an irony about waltzes themselves and must be played elegantly, despite its lack of great melodies.
Lovely, but...why does Argerich always have to play so slow?
ever heard her Prok 3? among the fastest I've seen
@@alejandrolenin93 Haven't! Will get to it. Have heard her Rach III, though. (Also very languid and slow.)
@@i.ehrenfest349 the precipato mvt of prok 7 is a really nice and fast tempo aswell
@@emielgeerts ok, thanks
Some people just don’t get sarcasm. 😎🎹
ただ、耳が痛い。恐い。
