I heard Martha in Dublin in the mid sixties and she was great then. She has become one of the greats of our time.

This pianist is so powerful and amazing. What amazes me is that she plays a full concert like if she was drinking a coffee. It is so easy and natural for her, and those hands, a wonderful flexibility. Age is really just a number for some beautiful minds. I hope she stays strong and healthy for as long as possible because she is with no doubts the best pianist alive.

The greatest pianist alive! God preserve those magic hands!

Grande pianista Martha Algerich. Per me la migliore.

Bravo Martha!!!!! Your performance is mora than excellent. You bring Beethoven back with us. Gos bless you, Martha.

Just great both Beethoven andvArgerich. To me the absolute best combination. Awesome playing and great conductor and orchestra forget about the technicality just sit back and enjoy this marvellous performance like we all do. Thank you Martha.

Mrs Argerich is positively exceptional: how is such a memory possible?? She plays all the works by heart...

Martha always comes to play. The lady of classical pianist, past and present.

Music for joyful playing and so it is here. Argerich is, of course, supreme and so is the orchestra.

Fantastic! It is it! Thank you Maestra Martha!

Une grande pianiste interprétant Mr BEETHOVEN à merveille. Finesse, force caractérise son jeu Merci du ravissement

I don't know why, but this piano concerto is for me the beethoven's best one. It is absolutely solar.

Most soloists and conductors made Beethoven sounds dead. This performance makes Beethoven alive.

i love the first movement of this Beethoven piano concerto

From being a consummate virtuoso in her youth (and that is no small thing), Ms. Argerich has matured, through experience and perhaps her personal traumas, into an elder stateswoman of music. It is said that she prefers not to play solo, rather with other musicians, as in this concerto. She has also played a lot more Beethoven recently, and played it magnificently. -- All this is to say that she remains one of my absolute favorite pianists, and this is a great, great performance. :)

the 2nd movement was so magnificently played!!! thank you

Argerich is so talented and experienced that her perfomance is always superb.

What would you want me to say? I never found a performance of this concerto better of whatever Argerich has played...

This looks recent. Thank you for sharing this. Martha never let old age to diminish her playing

Maestra plays to thrill and wonderize her audiencr. Such enveloping warmth is so reassuring.

Martha always brilliant!

Ms Argerich ... my go to Master Virtuoso.

the orchestra is superb as well

Martha: that was sublime!

love in bravo martha.i use to listen and listen again

J’étais à ce Concert à Aix en Provence. Un des plus beaux de ma vie. Martha était au sommet des sommets...

32:35 - 33:00 such sophistication & elegance, it's truly breathtaking

She is one of the greatest pianists

Una razón mas para vivir , escuchar a Beethoven ...

Bravo Direttore, brava orchestra, pianista sublime, grazie mi è piaciuto tantissimo

The tempo so good..

sin palabras , es lo que mas amo de mi pais , el crisol de razas nos dio gente como ella

THE BEST> PERIOD

I didn't think Argerich was compatible with Beethoven...until I heard 9:00 - 10:15 . She adds a whole a new dimension to this passage that makes me rethink so much of what I thought I knew about Beethoven.

If you wish to hear a fantastic performance of Beethoven's concerti try to find the cds of Solomon Curtner mostly known to the audience as Solomon (1902-1988). He gave for the BBC the full performance of Beethoven's sonata and was recording them in 1956 when a devastating stroke paralyzed his right arm putting an end to his career . With Arthur Schnabel at that time he was considered as the best Beethoven interpreter. A complete recording of the concertos was published by EMI in Germany under the reference CDF 300. 004 2 in three cds with a bonus of his interpretation Beethoven Sonata n°8 Pathétique. the concertos are performed the Philharmonia orchestra of London either conducted by Herbert Menges or André Cluytens. The recordings were made in the early and mid 50s. Some in stereo.

excellent cadenza!! absolutly brilliant! Aguante Martha! :D

increible como parece estar tomandole leccion al director y a la orquesta es que ella esta diez pasos mas adelante en todo miren esa cara de aprobacion o cuando queda expectante a ver como tocaran su parte los otros maestros de la orqueta GRANDIOSA!!

Beautiful music, beautiful lady

Très intéressant

That damn piano starting at 3:42 always makes me think it's a Mozart at first. This is beautifully executed, btw. :)

The interpretation is on point I'm amazed Thank you

concerto sublime!!!

Masterful pedaling and everything else .

When Argerich plays, you don't have to examine it, or critique anything. Just listen and be amazed!

Nice. This is music I can listen to at any occasion. :)

EXQUISITA

ya no es una niña como cuando debutó....creo que son 70 años o alguno más, pero.................es como el vino............madura y mejora con los años..........!!!!!

♥️🙏💐

su timing para entrar o darle entrada a la orquesta es incomparable amen de pianismo y sentimiento

Lovely as this is - & this is not a criticism - a finer version exists on period instruments conducted by Frans Bruggen with the Orchestra of the 18th Century, with the fortepiano played by..........Martha Argerich. Very few pianists could produce two stunning performances using the different styles of playing necessary. Wonderful & thanks for posting.

Bravo!

♥️♥️♥️

Pope is argentine, Messi is argentine, and she is argentine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wath else?...........jajajajaja wonderful, wonderful wonderful, the female great pianist of the last century....long life for Argerich

And of course the encore was Schumann's Kinderszenen, Op. 15 (Von fremden Ländern und Menschen).

Goood

OMG

I just want to meet the 57 ones who thumbs downed this... To know they actually exist

Aix en Provence 2014.

Mona Fang who is a student of mine will be auditioning this work in February at North Central College, Naperville, Illinois with the hope of playing this concerto with The Dupage Symphony Orchestra.

there is a mistake on the subtitle: oups =>opus.

Ich k kann mich nicht satt hören am Opus 15. Noch mehr allerdings ergötzt mich die brilliante Khatia Buniatishvili unter dem Dirigat von Frau Alsop, Da ist keine Erdenschwere mehr.

Muy buena ejecución. Lastima tan mal de sonido y video.

Oups 15? ;-)

If the person coughing at 9.33 reads this please stay away from live concerts .

C'mon, we all know Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 is for kids!

there is no replacement to Beethoven !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The synchronisation of image and sound in this recording is not very accurate... and, for me, diminishes its quality unfortunately... Great performance though...🤔🤔🤔

I ment God.... Sorry

marre de votre publicité premium .. je vais retourner à ma bonne vieille radio si ça continue .. aucun respect pour les oeuvres des grands compositeurs constamment hachées par cette pub.

im better at piano
