Oldies but Goldies - Martha Argerich 82 yo and Zubin Mehta 87 yo. Still marvellous musicians!

[@klauslavall5526]

What a powerful, wonderful woman, one of the great pianists - still, at over 80 years old. Millions love her and I hope she knows it.

She has such a temperament for Schumann. She is magical and awe-inspiring.

[@floresebius]

When I am after romantic Schumann spending one fine day with Clara as a just married couple, I listen to Perahia. When I am after Schumann’s young spirits hoping for the best future with Clara, I look for Argerich. Her energetic singing in this concerto, particularly in the third movement, never ages - literally!

[@YYYTTT633]

We will die, but music is forever. Argeric has already written her name in the history of music...

[@Ageless-yh7gv]

What a combo! Argerich, Mehta, Vienna Phil. That's why this performance is exciting. All parties specialized in excitement -- but never at the expense of musicality! Bravo!

[@muslit]

Argerich is one of the few performers who I can think of who continue to improve technically and musically as she ages. Quite incredible.

[@corner559]

Did you not hear the numerous mistakes in the third movement?

I don't care about mistakes, the whole is simply amazing. I am still in awe with her interpretation at Konzerthaus on 21 Sept. And the encore was stellar.

[@cheri238]

She is brilliant, eloquent, moving. She is ageless as classical music is timeless. Thank you ❤️ Reverence 🙏

[@djej5430]

meaning both are old? teehee, i know i am being cheeky, she's amazing

[@geuros]

few weeks ago she played in Prague Shostakovich's 1st, it was amazing. She looks like an old lady on her way to the piano, once she starts playing she looks 25. She's joking with conductor, other soloists, just enjoying the moment. If some time traveller told me that she would play Prokofiev's 3rd in Prague in 2062, I would believe that.

[@joedeegan3870]

[@IDEEINDIGO]

Martha Argerich ! ? Prodigieuse !!! Au sens plein du terme ! Servie par un orchestre et un chef de très haute qualité et dans une salle à l'acoustique remarquable. Un grand moment d'émotion. Mon respect sans borne va à cette grande Dame de la musique !🙏❤❤❤

[@mogivice5361]

Non posso dirmi un musicofilo, ma pur avendo la più alta considerazione di pianisti come Kempf, Michelangeli, Richter e altri del pantheon, alla fine la Argerich è quella che mi fa sognare di più. Da giovane era bella e brava. Da donna matura era ancora più bella e più brava. Adesso mi sembra soprannaturale. Vorrei tanto che vivesse altri cento anni... e anch'io, per continuare ad ascoltarla. Chissà dove finirei...

[@aerobat3]

Che bella commentario! Sono 100% d'accordo.

[@CraigFarangBa]

She owns this piece -- superlative performances, both here and on recordings.

[@calvinviolinist]

Her incredible musicianship at her age here defies my long held belief (as a violinist myself) that the level of a musician peaks earlier in life (eg. as after university training) and then inevitably goes down thereafter. Inspiring to imagine that age could just be a number and one could still be an even better musician with age!

[@abicat6158]

With age comes exceptional performance. Beautiful.

Can we please acknowledge for a moment how incredibly relaxed and unstrained Zubin Mehta conducts? He simply lives in this music, like a fish in water.

[@fredelin2580]

Indeed ! And he is one of the best to accompany her in this Concerto. And one can tell how free she feels she can be

[@organboi]

And without score.

[@Dmitry_Kuzmichev]

I'd say the same about Martha.

[@gerardpaire304]

Elle ne le joue jamais de la même façon ! C'est fascinant ! Elle prend d'incroyables libertés, qui ne déstabilisent jamais l'orchestre (c'est le Philhar de Vienne, excusez du peu...), et qui sont toujours d'une musicalité profonde. C'est un Schumann halluciné, terrible, qu'elle nous présente ici, le Schumann qui est si cher à son cœur. Merveilleuse Martha, généreuse Martha ! On l'aime de tout notre cœur.

[@hvanderf]

That encore gets me everytime!! Scenes from Childhood...clarity, simplicity and brilliance. Thank you Martha Argerich.

[@miriamjacobson1904]

I love this and the early recording she made of this piece. The earlier one has a fiery, irrepressible energy and a faster tempo. This one is more contemplative and retrospective, not afraid to let things build slowly, and then come crashing down with the strength of decades of playing.

[@ariadne4720]

which early recording are you referring to? I think I found the one on KZbin, but I am not certain. As a pianist for five decades myself, there is no way I perform pieces I played in my teens and twenties now as I did then. Neither interpretations are better or more "correct". They are simply different. But Martha's genius is that every interpretation she does is ALWAYS fresh and new. I feel so fortunate to have lived in a time where my life intersected hers.

[@limitstoprogress]

She is miraculous. Also important to note how much variety she is playing in her recent concerts - staples of her repertoire, but still maintaining 3/4 big concertos (schumann, ravel, prokofiev 3, beethoven) alongside lots of chamber works (a challenging duo recital with Babayan and many other works) all within weeks of each other.

[@-classicalmusic-]

She’s a true legend

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

[@florestan8333]

Amazing! This incredibly, profoundly talented woman knows SO many concertos by SO many different composers that she can play flawlessly from memory it confounds me as to how she can actually do that. I can only guess that once she learns a particular piece of music it’s forever hers and playing it comes as natural to her as breathing does.

[@heinzklinckwort2958]

Estimada Doña Martha, mi más profundo agradecimiento por esta magnífica y superior interpretación del concierto del célebre Robert Schumann. Evento que afortunadamente se puede disfrutar ampliamente repetidas veces, por ende lo observaré una y otra vez. Nuevamente ¡ muchísimas gracias por tan sublime interpretación ! ❤

[@janetmckenzie146]

Always a pleasure; I was at one of her performances at Carnegie Hall a number of years ago and it was tremendous. She often looks thoughtful while she plays, I’m not sure if she’s thinking ahead or listening in the moment! Exquisite.

[@louise_rose]

She is astonishing indeed, and at this point just as much a living legend as Richter or Bernstein were in the 1980s. Mezzo (this wonderful tv network) is re-screening a performance of the same concert she did twenty years ago, with Ricardo Chailly in Leipzig - I'll have to rewatch that one after watching this. :)
