She's about the only pianist I can think of who has the fingers and the temperament to play Schuman's crazy tempo markings ("faster", "even faster", and "still faster") in tempo...and she practically paints the slow movement, so beautifully is it played; from both a technical and musical perspective, this performance is unprecedented...

Dear user ArgerichHD, "Andantino. Getragen ("worn"--there could not be a more appropriate marking for this movement)". Indeed "Getragen" means worn in German, but in musical terms it should be translated as "Solemn". Martha Argerich is a Goddess. Incredible version.

I hadn't really heard much of Martha Argerich's playing but was always entranced by her sultry beauty. But I happened upon this video and...holy cow! Holy moly! Gadzooks! Gosh! Blimey! Geez Louise! Gads! Oh, man! Oh! What a recording! The first movement alone was a stunning tour-de-force and/or Tour de France of flyin' fingers on fire! Seriously, absolutely incredible pianism. But then even more surprising and "jaw dropping" in its way is the hushed beauty of the second movement. Absolutely exquisitely played! I always knew that Martha Argerich had "technique to burn," but I now see (hear) that she can play with the greatest beauty and depth of feeling. Extraordinary! Why hasn't she recorded many solo piano albums? Another recording of hers that I came across a year ago or so was her recording of the Brahms B-minor Rhapsody Op. 79 no. 1. It is also extremely beautiful and the way she ends it especially so: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMmYobme0b-tYGg.html

@Radiatoron88 6 жыл бұрын

Sorry to be late in responding! I didn't get any "notifications" from KZfaq or at least I didn't notice any. To answer your question, no, I haven't heard her in Rach 3. Maybe I should give her recording a listen. I actually grew up hearing Rach 2 and Rach 4 more than Rach 3. I don't know why Rach 4 doesn't seem to be played very often--I love it! (Even if the slow movement seems to echo "Three Blind Mice"!) In Rachmaninoff, I'm generally a big fan of Horowitz's recordings. But then again, if forced to make a choice, I choose "hot-blooded" passion over "icy" precision. Speaking of Rachmaninoff, Edgar Self (the wonderful gentleman who used to work in the classical recordings part of Tower Records in Chicago) gave me Rustem Hayroudinoff's CD of the Rachmaninoff Preludes, saying he thought it was the best recording he'd ever heard of the Preludes. I haven't heard that many recordings of the "Rachy" Preludes, but I agree that Rustem Hayroudinoff's recording is fabulous! Thanks for bringing up Martha Argerich's recording of the Rach 3 Concerto--I'll give it a listen! And, just for grins, here's Cyprien Katsaris playing (wonderfully!) an etude by Bortkiewicz that you might like: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndGalZl6s6jGfGw.html

Thanks for uploading this masterpiece and out-of-this-world performance. Just to point out German "Getragen" only ever means "worn" in the context of clothes. It does not have the same figurative connotation. In music (or generally mood/atmosphere) it translates to solemn, carried, measured. Which is oddly indecisive here. It's like "Andantino ma non troppo".

To me it just made me nervous so loud and rushed, the only thing it made me feel was irritated. so I thought I'd come on here and listen to somebody famous play it. I still feel annoyed by the majority of the piece, but that second movement, it is just the most wonderful thing under Martha's fingertips.
