    It's not about the speed...
    she gives each note such distinct character while pulling such a long extended mood through out, which is absolutely mind blowing.
    Argerich never fails me, she is a genius!!

      In fact, when people think that Argerich is speed only, they are totally wrong. Argerich is not only speed but also precision; she is the mastery and ability to play each piece in a totally unique way!!! She is the best, and the piano world will not be the same when we lose here. Some pianists practice 23 hours per day, and yet they can't reach her level.......

    This version, played by Martha, is one of the most beutiful musics that I heard in my life.
    Liszt was a genius. Arnaldo Cohen and Lisitsa plays as like Martha. God blessed all with an incredible capability to traduce all the emotions. Liszt would be proud.

    Wikipedia dice de Martha Argerich lo siguiente: " Martha Argerich (Buenos Aires, 5 de junio de 1941) es una pianista argentina de música académica , considerada una de las mayores exponentes de su generación y la posguerra. Especialmente célebre por sus interpretaciones de F. Chopin, Franz Liszt, Johann Sebastian Bach, Robert Schumann, Maurice Ravel, Serguéi Prokófiev, y Serguéi Rajmáninov.

    La Totentanz est connu comme l'une des partitions les plus difficiles de tout le répertoire pianistique. Martha est ici encore plus fulgurante que jamais. Dommage qu'à l'instar de France Clidat, elle n'est pas enregistré l'intégrale pianistique de Franz Liszt.

      Old comment I know, sorry. This piece is actually based on a thematic motif “Dies Irae” based on a longer Gregorian chant. It’s one of the most quotes pieces of musical literature, from Berlioz to Liszt to Williams, Elfman, etc. The motif is essentially synonymous with death.

    Man kann vielleicht über diese Interpretation streiten, da einiges nicht so ist, wie man das gewohnt ist. Aber ich finde, man kann sicher nicht darüber streiten, da hier Argerich mit einer unfassbaren Ur-Energie am Werk ist. Diese Energie validiert alles was sie macht und es klingt sowieso richtig.

  • @hectorguilermowierna7705

    Dice Wikipedia de ésta obra lo siguiente: "Totentanz (Liszt) (inglés: Dance of the Dead): paráfrasis en Dies Irae, S 126, es el nombre de una sinfónica pieza para solista de piano y orquesta de F. Liszt, que se caracteriza por estar basado en el canto gregoriano llano melodía Dies Irae, así como para las innovaciones estilísticas atrevidas. La pieza fue planteada originalmente en 1838 y terminada en 1849; se revisó dos veces, sin embargo, en 1853 y 1859.
    Innovaciones estilísticas. La apertura se acerca sorprendentemente a la introducción en la Sonata para dos pianos y percusión de Bartók, obra compuesta casi 100 años después. Esto no puede ser coincidencia ya que Bartók frecuentemente interpretó el Totentanz de Liszt.
    Otras características modernistas son las secciones de toccata, donde las repetidas notas del pianista golpean con intensidad diabólica y efectos sonoros especiales en la Orquesta".

    To me this sounds like Martha with a piece she hasn't played much, isn't comfortable with and hence (even) more nervous than usually.
    It's both stunning and perfectible, technically. And explosive, exciting, but also more often than not a tad sketchy, musically.
    Not her greatest achievement. But what a fun ride, what a thrill!

      I rather agree with you. I'm not convinced that this really is Martha. As you say, the rubatos are unusually extreme for her, and i found the pianism is rather splashy by her normal high standards ( eg 11.18, and other places). She never recorded it officially, so maybe we will never know. I'm a huge fan, but if it is real, this recording does not do her justice.

    I'm an Argerich fan but this is not one of her best performances. The slow variation in the middle is delicious, but otherwise she just plays fast and loose, to little musical purpose. Listen to Janis and Ginzburg for two very different but equally valid (and musical) takes on this odd piece.
