The most expressive performance of the most expressive piano piece I know of... It is the sound of a tormented manic depressive mind... Will someone now send this piano for repair and give Martha some red wine first and lithium later? A legendary recording.
musicanddreams As much as I love Argerich, his interpretation holds first place in the Sonata in B minor by far. He knows how to make the piano sing in this piece (or anything he touches pretty much.)
Io amo Martha, questa performance è la più significativa e la più ricca di emozioni, si può toccare con le dita una certa sensazione di inquietudine alternata da momenti magici e paradisiaci di riflessione, non posso smettere di adorare questa performance, Martha è la migliore!
definitely the World's most incredible, mezmerising performance of this. She serves all the lisztean attributes , from the most delicate candide, sometimes even naïve tenderness to absolut diabolic and mephistophelic sarcasm, volcanic agressions , from sensuality to divine subtility.The Recording of the Century of this sonata!
Listen to Cziffra. He performed this sonata with total mastery, and kept the musical line flowing better than anyone else I have heard. This is definitely good though
@@marksmith3947Cziffra was a close friend to my father, I have a set of pictures being a newborn on his and his son's arms, 1960.He came often to vist my parents in Luxembourg.I know all his recordings, I have have a collection of One Off prints for his LPs for all the Liszt Rhapsodies(maybe you want to acquire them even).It is another vision on the sonata, you cannot compare at all
@@jean-jacqueskaselorganreco6879I'm glad you have so many Cziffra recordings. I'm a big fan. The liszt b minor sonata is one of those pieces which is almost always an artistic failure in performance-- rather like the Rachmaninoff 3rd, which was only a success when the younger Horowitz played it. Argerich is a brilliant pianist, but this performance does not get to the heart of the music.
The tigress on the loose! This performance has fire, passion and poetry in abundance, not to mention stunning execution. She is prepared to take risks, and by God it pays off here!.
I’ve listened to so many performances of this piece and literally no one plays those octaves like her. Even the best pianists in the world either slow down or make an absolute mess
@@Charlie-vf8hw i know! i still don't understand why other pianists tended to slow it down in that part. personally i think they were trying to make the sound 'deeper' but really it gives me nothing...and that's why i love argerich's interpretation which is so clear and sharp. simply perfection
Come on Gerontius34! NOT TRUE! Argerich not the Greatest because Marta do not has the Best piano Sound! Marta Argerich not the Most Genius! Marta Argerich not the.Most Powerful Loudest pianist! Better More Beautiful Colorful piano Sound than Argerich=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy!

@@RaineriHakkarainen English is not your first language, but your post makes honest sense and I appreciate the different point of view. Perhaps I was being a bit hyperbolic in my praise of Argerich, I apologize. I will also apologize that amongst the pianists you list above, Lazar Berman's reputation in the West has always been an absolute mystery to me. I have known his recordings since the late 1970's, and obviously others hear more of interest there than I do. To each his own!
It's a spectacular performance by Archerich, worthy of the greatest technician of the 21st century. Her technique is amazing. The sound from her fingers, which is racing without an inch of error, makes my heart beat.
I find that I'm comfortable with Martha Argerich's interpretation of the Liszt sonata in b minor as apposed to other's who seem to play it too mechanically and not enough feeling.
Bravo Martha!!! Hier gibt es viel Kritik über deine Leistung. Diese Leute haben keine Ahnung, was es bedeutet, diese Sonate WIRKLICH so gut zu können. Das sollte man erstmal selber nachmachen können. Ich finde, es gibt sehr wenige Leute, die sich daran messen lassen können. Ich weiss nicht, wer ausser der junge Horowitz so eine Perfektion und intensive Interpretation bieten konnte. So lebt dieses Stück wirklich! Nochmal Bravo!
Argerich's high-energy approach often obscures details, and it can also trample on the structural lines of the work. Zimerman remains the King for myself when it comes to this Sonata!
On other hand sometimes I feel that Zimmerman pays so much attention to details that the piece as a whole sort of loses its fluidity and structure. A lot of the times when I listen to him I get lost, while I never really do with Argerich. I think both approaches have their upsides and downsides.
3:05 It is fascinating how Martha introduces Faust's theme. Most pianists introduces Faust's theme with grandeur and nobility. Martha's heavy percussion makes Faust's theme sound agitated as if Mephistopheles is still hovering around. This might be a great interpretation of Faust being tormented by Mephisto. The agitation is gone when Martha revisits Faust's theme later on.
Im really interested in interpreting this piece. I don't really see it as a rendition of Faust, but do you mind telling me how the themes relate to that story? I'd like to hear about it
@@Sam-gx2ti In the musical material of the play, Franz Liszt formulated the heroes of the Faust theme that always occupied him and the human qualities they personified: Faust, the heroic character in search of truth, Mephistopheles, the symbol of denial and evil, and Margit. . , the ideal woman. It's about the battle between good and evil. (based on the analysis of László Holics)
My first version sonata-Listz for me by Martha Argerich, why ? Because she plays very viril as Horowitz but also very feminin , a force and also delicacy of a woman . It's not with Martha Argerich a famous sonata , a great piano as we listen with the others pianists but a human sonata and we don't listen her fabulous technic-piano , j forget technic to listen F Listz , she is alone in Listz-sonata since almost 1970's to play it like that . J think really all pianists don't play Listz but play their composition , it's a fact extremely rare in history piano with the great Listz-sonata
Wonderful performance! Thank you for this charming recording upload! I think her interpretation may be the best,only compared to Horowitz old playing(1932).
Si existiese eso de "versión definitiva", el arte no tendría lugar en este mundo. Una versión es personal, considerarla definitiva es desconocer la infinita variedad de la naturaleza humana.
@@lunitamusica3212 no desconozco nada. Es una forma de decir cargada de admiración por la gran Martha Argerich. No me juzgues, que señalar con el dedo a los demás no es precisamente una virtud de nuestra condición humana...

Monumental. This has been my favorite interpretation since I heard it for the first time. In my humble opinion the only matching interpretation to Martha Argerich's is 19 years old (!) Yuja Wang's live at the Verbier Festival; I left a comment there.
Phantastic performance of the greatest piano sonata ever ! Martha's recording is - together with Krystian Zimermans - my favorite ... :) Thank you for uploading!
@@mikhailtrushechkin1642 Also very beautiful. Very virtuoso played, sometimes with a very high tempo and then it is difficult to play very accurately. But very handsome.
@@andriesbartels3454 Thank You:) This sonata is absolut Liszt summit... from my standpoint. I would be very greatfull if You write Your opinion on my channel:)
Sounds a bit like listening through keyhole, I don't know why but the high frequencies are dimmed. Also, especially at the beginning it looks like it's been compressed (dynamically). Honestly, folks, don't do these kinds of things, they're killing the music! And *what* music at that!
Je suis un peu effaré par certaines critiques...Martha Argerich a remarquablement fait ressortir l'aspect tout à la fois tourmenté, Dantesque, furieux, passionné, endiablé, fou, illuminé mais aussi divin, mystique, qui touche à la béatitude, au bonheur suprême, aux Cieux... de cette sonate. Franz Liszt en somme... Dans ma discothèque, j'ai 2 versions d'Horowitz, 1 de Leonskaja, 1 de Cziffra, 1 de Richter, 1 de Blet, 1 de Zimmerman, et bien sûr 1 d'Argerich. Pour moi, Martha Argerich reste au dessus et on ressent la passion et la profondeur de cette oeuvre plus qu'avec les autres interprétations.
Listen to Terence Judd (live 1978). He is less lyric than Martha in dolce, but more expressive in drama. On the 3rd movement realy he knocked at the door of the Hell !
If you enjoy this recording of the Liszt sonata, then listen also to the recording of that great Russian lady, Maria Grinberg- just as intense and passionate as Argerich, and even faster by a slight margin (20 seconds).
I get what some people are saying. Some passages sound rushed or "thrown away" in showy bravado...... Hello! Have you ever listened to Argerich play? Honestly, this is quite restrained and thoughtful playing by the genius of Argerich.

Maybe the liveliest interpretations of this sonata : dazzling beauty. But there is a point (imho) in the piece itself: Liszt tears down each of his themes from splendor to caricature, even the one himself says supreme: the theme of the Holy Cross. What's left then? Nothing.
one of my favorite sonatas that i've ever lisztened to
yea same
added this to my favourite playliszt
i see what you did there
Ah! I see what you did there😏

Interpretation I grew up with so I think I'll always love it best... One of the greatest pieces ever written for piano.
She's a Master. One of the most renowned interpreters of this monument to the 19th century.
+gone She -- and quite a few others -- FAR exceeded Horowitz LONG ago. By today's standards Horowitz was the most overrated pianist in human history.
oH no no that's harsh. yes he aged but in his youth he could have held up to any f them technichally.
This is not the interpretation with most complexity, but definitely with most passion and virtuosity.
Have you heard Maria Grinberg's recording of this sonata?
Damn...
This woman is sublime
I hope she will never be forgotten.
Legendary masterpiece - the richness of sound, the highest professionalism, absolute depth of understanding and musicality are amazing imagination. . .
A TRUE MASTERPIECE, JUST PLAYED BY THE BEST DONNA DELLA MUSICA. BRAVO LISZT, BRAVA MARTHA.
The most expressive performance of the most expressive piano piece I know of...
It is the sound of a tormented manic depressive mind...
