Rachmaninoff: Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30 / Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23
Sergei Rachmaninov
Philips, 1995
Great music - but it's a *Copy-protected disc*
I don't have anything to add to the other (positive) reviews of the music contained on this disc. Even if it is not the best recording of the Rach 3 (I suspect it is) it is still an absolutely must-hear performance. The only problem is that this disc uses copy ...
A Piano Evening with Martha Argerich [DVD Video]
Tdk DVD Video, 2007
Why she is the greatest of the age, and perhaps of all time...
This is a remarkable DVD, featuring Martha Argerich--arguably the greatest pianist of all time--and two rising musical names: Renaud Capucon, violin, and Gautier Capucon, cello. While the brothers Capucon deliver beautiful and nuanced playing, this is really Argerich's ...

Great Performances
The two piano concerti by Chopin have been staples of the concert hall for many years. However, this is only the second recordings of these concerti by Martha Argerich. Ms. Argerich summons up all of the poetry and pathos that has made Chopin's concertos so popular ...

WOW! Absolutely stunning!
I just bought this disc and was blown away by it. It was everything I thought it would be and then some. It has to be one of the great piano recital CDs of all time. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this.

Martha Argerich Plays Chopin: The Legendary 1965 Recording
Frederic Chopin
EMI Classics, 1999
Staggering virtuosity
These Chopin recordings of Martha Argerich from 1965 are an example of staggering virtuosity of the highest order. She is one of the few pianists I've heard that could rival Michelangeli for technical ability(though both could be erractic at times, with the Italian ...

Readings that combine imagination, charisma, and incredible technique
Is the ever comical David Hurwitz doing Argerich any good by saying that a more exciting pianist has never existed (has he heard Liszt in person)? Or that every one of her recordings is a prime recommendation (come now)? We get the idea that he likes the layd. These ...

Argerich Talks and Plays
Martha Argerich, for many of us, has long been an enigma. She has always been a private person, one who does not seek the spotlight, who even cancels performances because, it is said, of nervousness, shyness. Filmmaker Georges Gachot, after years of entreaties, gets ...

"classical" style?
What is the classical style? What can be objectively defined as the "proper" or "correct" way of playing Mozart and Beethoven? It's all too fashionable these days to dismiss Argerich's interpretation of these composers as "stylistically wrong." I believe it all comes ...

3 strong personalties, united here
This recording, taken from two live performances in Japan, is unusual, but breathtaking. And contrary to what one reviewer on the review page said, this is not the first time the 3 have played together. It was the year before this present recording was made, in '97 in ...

I don't understand quite where the other reviewer is coming from. This is a treasure-trove of piano music by some of the best classical pianists of the last century. If you want a musical anthology of some of the best by some of the best, pick it up!
